Doesn't really matter, for example /usr/local/bin

In the cgi-bin directory of your webserver (can most probably be found
somewhere under /usr/local or /var).

Yes.

man crontab

crontab -e

Then insert something like:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
0-59/5 * * * *     /usr/local/bin/backend.py >/dev/null

This will run /usr/local/bin/backend.py every five minutes. I don't know
what a suitable interval is for your purposes because I never used the
program mentioned.
