Google Datalab: How to put the code on a trigger/CRON to run daily

Question

I'm new to Datalab. After going through the Quickstart and much of documentation, I still cannot figure out what to do if I want to run a notebook automatically e.g. once a day.

Can you please help

Thanks

Answer 1

Datalab does not offer an out of box solution to running notebooks automatically on a schedule. If you're willing to write some code to automate running a notebook, you can take a look at the test script for the Datalab notebooks repository here. This uses jupyter nbconvert to run notebooks, and you can easily run this script on a schedule.
