Solution 1

Yes, my service https://posthook.io lets you schedule requests back to your API through a simple REST API.

Solution 2

Using AWS, I've done the following:

Create Lambda function to POST to the REST API
Create CloudWatch Events rule to trigger the Lambda function on a schedule

Here's some info on "Creating a CloudWatch Events Rule That Triggers on a Schedule"

I'm entrepreneurial at heart, myself and my surroundings have been re-thought, re-innovated and still iterating through a process of constant refinement and learning. I have began my journey in the IT industry almost a decade ago, after experiencing its offerings and learning from it I'm now ready to diversify myself and then the industry by exploring new ventures whilst equipping myself with multidisciplinary knowledge. Experience has shown me that I love programming mainly due to its "creativity"; meaning that I love painting; the keyboard is my brush and the screen my canvas. I have began a journey towards disruption, a journey of innovation; slowly and steadily pushing towards fruition of dreams and aspirations.

Are you aware of any online service accessible via REST API that can schedule calls to APIs specifically HTTP POST of Content-Type:application/json and application/xml?
