Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how external data is fetched and how the API and cron jobs are structured; clarify the refresh trigger, scope, and completion behavior before implementation. Done should include a defined refresh hook accessible through the agreed path, with tests for its behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should consider adding a refresh hook that runs on a cron job or is accessible via our API so that users can refresh stale, external data.
