Call python function with ajax and flask continously

I need to call flask function in python with ajax continously. To that I have following script in html file.
<script >
var ajaxFUN = function () {
$.ajax({
url: '/toAjax',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log('get info');
$('#data').html(data['data']);
}
});
}
setTimeout(ajaxFUN, 1);
</script>
And here is the python code
#app.route('/toAjax')
def ajaxTo():
print("AJAX WAS HERE")
data= reader.getToAjax()
info = {
"data": data
}
return jsonify(info)
I need to call /toAjax header route in the python continously without hitting any button or any kind of method.
But that implementation prints only once AJAX WAS HERE. Where is the missing part ? How can I fix it ?
Here is the similiar questions which I have looked:
setTimeout() and setting parameters
how to make ajax calls continuously for 5 seconds once

setTimeout triggers exactly once (unless cancelled)
you could use setInterval, but that's likely to flood your server at the rate you've used for setTimeout
I would recommend the following
var ajaxFUN = function () {
$.ajax({
url: '/toAjax',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log('get info');
$('#data').html(data['data']);
ajaxFUN(); // this calls the function again
}
});
}
ajaxFUN();
In case you're worried, there's no "recursion", since ajaxFUN() is being called in an asynchronous callback

Calling ajax request continually until a certain search request is found

I am trying to keep sending AJAX GET requests to a certain page that inputs from a cgi script until a specific set of keystrokes shows up.
However, my requests aren't coming up continuously, in fact they aren't even taking place when I am using a function and trying to call the function. I had to use the complete with the success, because for whatever reason, with the success I could not properly store the value retrieved.
Here is what I have:
function posts() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'http://checkvaluestatus.sh',
success: function(data) {
alert(data_response.responseText);
},
complete: function(data_response) {
alert(data_response.responseText);
var viewport = data_response.responseText;
var version = viewport.match(/Release:[^=]*/);
if (version != null) {
console.log(version);
} else {
posts();
}
},
error: function() {
console.log('failed');
posts(); //calling the ajax again.
}
});
Is there not a way to keep sending requests based on a condition being met and having the value still stored?
This is my AJAX call that worked to print the value:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://checkvaluestatus.sh',
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
alert(data_response.responseText);
},
complete: function(data_response) {
alert(data_response.responseText);
var viewport = data_response.responseText;
var version = viewport.match(/Release:[^=]*/);
document.write(version);
},
});

salam,
the value you are looking for in success function is the 'data' ,not "data_response.responseText" because in "success" function data is your response text ,but in the "complete" function "data_response" is a jqXHR object contain more information.
to print your text in success function replace
alert(data_response.responseText);
by
alert(data);

javascript get file contents

I would like to know it there is something in JavaScript that loads the contents of a given file. For example, I have a file called timer.php which on certain conditions it prints either a 1 or a 0 and I need JavaScript to read it and use it as a variable in order to execute a function.
So something like:
function dothis() {
var timer = getfilecontents(timer.php);
if(timer == 1) {
somefunction();
}
}
And thats pretty much it. What can I do?

try again AJAX
dothis
<script>
function dothis(){
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
cache: false,
url: 'http://example.com/timer.php',
beforeSend:function() {
console.log('loading...');
},
success: function(response) {
console.log(response)
}
});
}
</script>

Retrieve comments on runtime?

I want to call Ajax which fetches all the comments from database.
Now how to put a check on that Ajax Script to Run, when only someone comments.
Same as the stackoverflow notifications. When we comment on question, The Notification appears without reloading page (i.e On Runtime ).
Right now I am Running the same Ajax Script after each 10 seconds again and again, when I think is a bad way .So Here is my working Ajax Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax_files/reload_notifications.php"
}).done(function(result) {
var $notifications = $('#notification_area');
if ($notifications.length > 0) {
$notifications.html(result);
}
});
}, 10000);
});

When a comment is entered, do a similar AJAX request that will save the comment and on it's success callback, call another function which will also hit another AJAX request which fetches the comments. For e.g.
function insertComment() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax_files/insert_comment.php"
}).done(function(result) {
fetchComments();
}
});
}
function fetchComments() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax_files/reload_notifications.php"
}).done(function(result) {
var $notifications = $('#notification_area');
if ($notifications.length > 0) {
$notifications.html(result);
}
});
}
Hope this helps!

How do you repeatedly make an ajax request with jquery?

I have the following ajax request that runs when the page is loaded
var city_id = $(".feed-selected-city").attr('id');
$("#cityfeed").html("<div class='feed-loading'>The feed is loading ...</div>");
var ajaxOpts = {
type: "get",
url: "ajax_getcityfeed.php",
dataType: 'json',
data: "&city=" + city_id,
success: function(data) {
$('#cityfeed').html(data.data);
}
};
$.ajax(ajaxOpts);
How can I run this piece of code every 10 seconds after that?

Wrap it in a function, and use setTimeout to continuously call the function.
function tick() {
var city_id = $(".feed-selected-city").attr('id');
$("#cityfeed").html("<div class='feed-loading'>The feed is loading ...</div>");
var ajaxOpts = {
type: "get",
url: "ajax_getcityfeed.php",
dataType: 'json',
data: "&city=" + city_id,
success: function(data) {
$('#cityfeed').html(data.data);
}
};
$.ajax(ajaxOpts);
setTimeout('tick()',10000);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
tick();
}

#Yegor
Wrap the above function using a name. Then use setTimeout(function(){//call the function here},10000); -
I would suggest you not to make this kind of implementation. Make some alternative.

Use a infinite loop with setTimeout. And put that inside.
Though I don't recommend this to achieve what you're trying todo. I think what you require is some kind of polling; this will probably kill your server if there's a high amount of simultaneous users; since each visitor will send a http request every 10 seconds.
function timedCount()
{
console.log('Hello');
setTimeout("timedCount()",10000);
}
timedCount();
