Recently, I designed a simple metrics-tracking system. A Python script queries different providers' APIs for metrics, e.g., Twitter, GitHub, etc. The idea is to run this script each day, store them in Google BigQuery, and provide an excellent data visualization in Google Data Studio. I'm a big fan of automation, so I'm using GitHub Actions.
Accessing Google Cloud With a Service Account
I query the different APIs with different Python libraries. All of them allow authenticating by passing a parameter. In general, it's a token. One can store the value in a GitHub secret, get it as an environment variable in the GitHub Action and use it in the code.
