What are the two best-practice options to configure this?

To run a dataflow regularly, the best-practice options include:

Use the dataflow scheduler of the Console and add a schedule:

This built-in feature allows you to schedule dataflows to run at specific intervals directly from the Console.

Use the idx.createScheduling endpoint via an API call:

This API endpoint allows you to programmatically schedule dataflows, providing flexibility in automation and integration with other systems.

Both methods ensure that dataflows are executed regularly according to the defined schedule.
