Is it possible to make API calls from azure web jobs?

Question

My question is about make API request from azure web jobs.

I have created azure Apps service for my web application (MVC C#).I have one API that need to run once in a day.I found one component in azure namely Azure Job which is paid one.Later I get to know about web jobs in my same Apps Services which not need to pay anything more, but I am not able to find anything that connects Web Jobs with API calls.Everywhere its mentioned about '.exe' files only.

I think that the first thing is that you could refer to this document to learn what is webjob .

WebJobs is a feature of Azure App Service that enables you to run a program or script in the same context as a web app, API app, or mobile app. There is no additional cost to use WebJobs.

As Ivan yang mentioend that you could create a console application or script and add call rest API code in it.

Note : If your app runs continuous or scheduled WebJobs, enable Always On to ensure that the WebJobs run reliably. This feature is available only in the Basic, Standard, and Premium pricing tiers.

I recommand that you also could use the Azure function to do that.
