What I want to do with Node.js is basically LISTEN to an API (jSON) and process the results to send to multiple clients.
Example:
WhatIwanttoknowis:DoesthisMyVPScomputerhavetoexistanywayandruntheserverapplicationfor24hours?
IthoughtofsomethinglikeaCrontabtoreplaceVPS,butIthinkI'mwrongaboutthis,becauseNode.jsshouldstay"LISTENING" to the API and not accessing it through multiple requests in a given range of time.
Could I leave the script running on the server forever?
I see several notifications apps that collect third-party data and wonder if that's how they work.
