External csv file using url

[blndazeez]

I have a select_one question which I need to link it to a csv file, but the csv file needs to be updated everyday, the list is not fixed. I was wondering If I can use URL to the csv file. I tried it but it was not working, maybe I missed something.

If this way is not supported then what is the best way to update the csv file using cron on our PHP web app? any help is highly appreciated.

Welcome to the community @blndazeez! Maybe this post discussed previously should help you get some lights on your issue:

REST request to retrieve a value from an external source

I would like to issue a REST query to an external server to retrieve a value. For example, after entering a name, I would like to check in our database if that name has already been stored. I have seen the REST examples, but most deal with sending, not with receiving data. https://support.kobotoolbox.org/en/articles/978826-pull-data-functionality-in-kobotoolbox is similar, but it does not work for dynamic data. Any hint would be welcome.

Thank you @Kal_Lam, I will check that.
