Hi,

I am trying to fetch a csv file kept on a GitHub repository:

Any public API that I can make use of? Help please?

Cheers,
Sumit

For a publically accessible file, you can just use the “Download file” action with an URL of the raw version of a file:

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your response. But as new data comes in everyday on this URL I would like to schedule refresh on it.

Is it possible to extract the data using any GitHub API or something like that?

Cheers,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,

You can try to use GitHub API with the “Web request” action or one of its derived actions - “Iterate Web request” or “Import from Web API”.
