Verificaciones periodicas Django

Question

How could I create a loop, thread or anything that my webapp periodically checks every 5 minutes the database and deletes entries that are "expired".

I did some research, but I couldn’t find anything specific. I even found something saying that you should create another program that accesses an app api to make this communication. I don’t know if this is the most efficient option or "professional".

Thank you all.

What you want to do, could be easily achieved through the Celery, more specifically of Periodic Tasks. In the documentation you will find examples with Django.
