Scheduling isn't provided by PHP, but it can be by tools on the
webserver (or any other machine requesting the update page regularly).
But there is no need to update every 30 minutes, you only need to update
if you cached version is requested and the cached data is more than 30
minutes old. The only problem is multiple requests on an update, but
htat is what flock(ing) is for...
