Interval tasks¶
μAgents can use interval tasks to periodically perform actions with some time interval.
We can use the on_interval
decorator to repeat a task in a specified period.
We also need to import Context
to have access to the information that the agent needs to function.
In this case, we will just define a say_hello
function that will print out the agent name every 2 seconds.
from uagents import Agent, Context
alice = Agent(name="alice")
@alice.on_interval(period=2.0)
async def say_hello(ctx: Context):
ctx.logger.info(f'hello, my name is {ctx.name}')
if __name__ == "__main__":
alice.run()
You should see the message printed out in the terminal every 2 seconds.
Hello my name is alice.
Hello my name is alice.
Hello my name is alice.
Hello my name is alice.
For another interval task example see agent communication.
