Hello, I am currently trying to build an ai assistant with my own json dataset. Is there a way that pinecone can periodically query; say a url and get the latest data as opposed to me constantly uploading a json file?

I don’t think Pinecone supports this directly, but you can automate it using their API and a workflow platform. I’ve done something similar using Appsmith workflows. Or you could use n8n, Make, etc.
