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()

Run your agent

python agent.py

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.
