This example shows how to run a Python script as cron job with GitHub Actions. It calls an API once a week (could be any schedule you want), logs the response in status.log, and automatically pushes the changes to this repo.
Implement your script in main.py
Inspect and configure cron job in GitHub Action .github/workflows/actions.yml
It can install and use third party packages from requirements.txt
Secret environment variables can be used. Set secrets in Settings/Secrets/Actions -> ‘New repository secret’. Use the same secret name inside actions.yml and main.py
