Timer on IoT Edge module

Question

I have a requirement to run a task every n seconds to fetch some data using REST API on IoT Edge.

My first thought was to create a C# Azure IoT Edge module and have a timer on it to run the task. Something similar to SimulatedTemperatureSensor project. But, instead of sending fake data every 5 seconds, I will do my API requests. I downloaded this project and started changing it. But it has many dependencies on other project and has a lot than what I need.

Is there a simpler project or tutorial that I can use?

Answer 1

See this example here . That one sends out a message every few seconds but just the same way you can implement whatever logic you'd like.
