How to determine update interval when API returns data 'on demand' #64

Example: http://datos.santander.es/api/rest/datasets/sensores_smart_parking.json

This API returns data whenever you call it. However, the timestamp gets updated only when the status is changed. How do we determine how often to ping it?

Decided to let the user specify this through config.yml REFRESH_TIME
