Hi,

On Windows these are "scheduled tasks". See for example https://o365reports.com/2019/08/02/schedule-powershell-script-task-scheduler/ to create a task using either the GUI or PowerShell.

The task itself could be a powershell script using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-restmethod?view=powershell-7 to call the web api.
