How to update a curator.io feed? (Javascript?)

Ask for Help

I’m using curator.io for making a feed for my glide app. The feed contains Instagram posts from an account. Currently the feed only refreshes/updates every 24 hours, but I want to make this every hour. I was wondering if this was possible with maybe Javascript or something else.
Note: I’m getting the feed into my glide app with an HTML.

My HTML file (The source for my feed):

<!-- Place <div> tag where you want the feed to appear -->
<div id="curator-feed-default-feed-layout"><a href="https://curator.io" target="_blank" class="crt-logo crt-tag">Powered by Curator.io</a></div><!-- The Javascript can be moved to the end of the html page before the </body> tag --><script type="text/javascript">
/* curator-feed-default-feed-layout */
(function(){
var i,e,d=document,s="script";i=d.createElement("script");i.async=1;i.charset="UTF-8";
i.src="https://cdn.curator.io/published/66bef0b8-a238-45ab-9951-51ccb4b07df8.js";
e=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];e.parentNode.insertBefore(i, e);
})();
</script>

I have tried updating the HTML file with this command:

setTimeout(function(){
   window.location.reload();
}, 5000);

However, this only updates the HTML file but doesn’t update the feed. How can I update the feed and look for new Instagram posts every hour?

Didn’t you say that they update their feed every 24 hours? According to their pricing page the feed updates every 24 hours with the free plan. The paid plans update every hour. I’d assume that refreshing the page would not change that fact.

Yes. However, I would have hoped that I could somehow work around this. And maybe not have to pay, but I guess not

If it was that easy, then they would make any money.
