Python • Using Python to Fetch and Auto-Update Data on Raspberry Pi

I'm experimenting with a Raspberry Pi project where i want to automatically fetch data from a website using python and then update it on mu pi in real time. What’s the most reliable way to handle periodic requests without overloading the system?

Would you recommend using requests with a scheduler like cron, or something more robust like asyncio for continuous updates?

Also, has anyone tried storing this fetched data locally in something lightweight like SQLite for quick access?
