Hello there,

I am a fairly noobish programmer in that I haven't been out in the wild very much. I have been contemplating a particular instance of my application in which I have to contact an API and save the results to a database.. I have to do this on a schedule every 5 minutes.

Presume I have three classes; - One class to raises a 'timetocallapi' message at intervals? (The same functionality of a timer) - One class to respond to the 'timeticallapi' message and actually go and do the call to the api - One class that handles saving the data to the database?

Is that what is commonly done? Like really it's just a timer is it silly to have an extra class? It's possible at some point that it may be an inconsistant interval or some such thing.

Would I be foolish to have one class that does all the above? Where does one draw the line with SRP?

Thank you kindly for any thoughts on the matter John
