Hi @ThinhDinh, Great points. Your concern is very valid and I think n8n cloud should solve pretty much on par with Zapier. I actually self-host n8n because I do a lot of custom hacks using n8n. I can basically tune n8n to fit anything that I need. It works very neatly because I simply pump out data to my Glide sheet. Most of my customers rely on me for their future needs too and hence it works for me. I did quite few glideapps recently and use n8n for all data scraping, transformation,etc … pls check then out [here](https://twitter.com/search?q=(from%3An0c0de1)%20%23adventofnocode&src=recent_search_click) ---

Great one! May I ask if you can time your triggers the way we can do in Zapier with n8n? Thank you. For apps powered by data from API I want to control my refresh count. ---

Yes! That can be done either by CRON node or a Webhook in n8n 🙂 ---

that’s cool, thanks for sharing. That’s a nice example to work on some API with glide [Previous page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/using-app-script-with-a-json-api/20051.md?page=1)
