How to use it (maybe for other ePetitions)

Development

npm run dev

Build

npm run build

Github Actions (and how to trigger it)

You may want to change

git config --global user.email
git config --global user.name

in .github/workflows/crawler.yml.

Create a secret named ACCESS_TOKEN in your repo's Settings - Security - Secrets and Variables - Actions - Repository secrets because we need a secret to push changes:

      - name: Push changes
        uses: ad-m/github-push-action@master
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}

For automation, you may want to use Github Actions' schedule:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "*/5 * * * *"

But this is so unstable - maybe 15 mins or longer. So my solution is:

Uncomment the following lines in .github/workflows/crawler.yml:

on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [sign]

Using crontab (and replace the UPPERCASE_VARIABLES_TO_YOURS) to fetch data every 5 mins:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/curl --request POST --url 'https://api.github.com/repos/YOUR_USER_NAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME/dispatches' --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN' --data '{"event_type": "sign"}'

Notice that --data '{"event_type": "sign"}' == repository_dispatch.types.

src/data.json5 maybe very large - but fetching every 5 minutes for the last 10 days is still acceptable.

And I don’t know the specific end time of ePetition - seems 1 P.M. of the end date.
