I would like to suggest you the following GitHub Actions because I think that they would enhance both the readability and the maintainability of the GitHub Action workflow for the daily data update.

• py-actions/[email protected]: install all Python software requirements listed in the requirements.txt located in the repository root; updates pip, wheel, and setuptools automatically, by default
• fregante/[email protected]: setup up the GitHub Actions bot as authoring instance

Example:

# Line 34:
      - name: Install Python requirements
        if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
        uses: py-actions/[email protected]

# Line 48:
      - name: Configure GitHub Actions bot
        uses: fregante/[email protected]

      - name: Commit updated files
        run: git add -A && git commit -m 'Update data'

If you are interested, I can submit a Pull Request with the respective changes.

The GitHub query doesn't retrieve reliable number unfortunately. As suggested by @arfon, this may be due to ongoing work in the GitHub backend at query time.

Some options for working around this would be to clean results, e.g., by removing any unexpected spikes (delete rows that deviate from a general trend (1 measurements before, 2 after the spike) retroactively.
Or to run the script several times a day, then averaging.
