auto refreshing report with data import - workaround

For an internship i'm doing, i was asked to make a daily report. This report is showed on a screen and isn't operated by a user. the screen and server the report is running on, start on their self every morning at 8 - o'clock. This screen needs to be refreshed every 30-mins. Because i needed the flexibilty that data import offers compared to directquery, the aivable report refresh wasn't an option for me. 

I tackled this problem by installing an chrome-extension that refreshes the page automatically on set interval. The extesion i used is configurable to always refresh certain pages. The extension starts when the browser is automatically launched. the extension i used (no ad, just giving credit) : [link] . 

I thought i should share this because i have spent quite some time trying to solve this myself.
