Get data from api periodically

Hi everyone, I am making a blazor server web app, and i have to get data from api every 10 seconds and save it to database and update index.razor page with that data.
The question is, how can i get that data? I have to create service with timer and add it to services in program.cs? and which timer should i use?
Thanks for help!

It depends a bit on how your application works or is hosted. But often you would have something akin to a background job or worker running that would do this periodic updating.
