Schedule a Python script with GitHub Actions

This example shows how to run a Python script as cron job with GitHub Actions. It calls an API, logs the response in status.log, and automatically pushes the changes to this repo.

• Implement 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
