Insert value new cell - google-apps-script

Question

good morning
this script adds a cell below, it is wrong I would rather copy the value of E2 and paste it in E3, E4 etc etc every 1 hour.
Thanks to those who solve my problem.
var activeSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('E2').setValue(jsonResponse.price);
var sheet =SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet()
var range = sheet.getRange("E2:E2");
range.insertCells(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS);

Time-driven trigger:
The script you shared will effectively shift the cells in column E down, with E3 containing the newest value (E2 will be blank). You want this function to run automatically each hour. For this, you need to install a time-driven trigger. The trigger needed in this case would be everyHours(n). You can install either manually, by following these steps, or programmatically, by running the following function once:
function createHourTrigger() {
var triggeredFunction = "shiftAndSet"; // Triggered function name, change accordingly
ScriptApp.newTrigger(triggeredFunction)
.timeBased()
.everyHours(1)
.create();
}
Note:
Your script has a certain amount of repetition and could be reduced to this (the code to retrieve jsonResponse is obviously missing):
function shiftAndSet() {
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("E2");
range.setValue(jsonResponse.price);
range.insertCells(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS);
}
Also, if you want E2 and not E3 to have the newest value at the end of each execution, you could change the order of actions, like this:
function shiftAndSet() {
var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("E2");
range.insertCells(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS);
range.setValue(jsonResponse.price);
}
