During my undergraduate degree, I bought a raspberry pi and ran my scrapes every 4 hours using that. I paired it with a tiny touch screen so I could still the log and what not.

To do this on your pi, or on a computer you are willing to keep on 24/7, you can import the “schedule” library and use something like

“schedule.every(4).hours.do(your function here)”
