Runs on a schedule

Note: This workflow uses the internal API which is not official. This workflow might break in the future. The workflow executes every night at 23:59. You can configure a different time bin the Cron node. Configure the GitHub nodes with your username, repo name, and the file path. In the HTTP Request nodes (making a request to localhost:5678), create Basic Auth credentials with your n8n instance username and password.

Display project data on a smashing dashboard

This workflow will gather data every minute from the GitHub (https://github.com), Docker (https://www.docker.com/), npm (https://www.npmjs.com/) and Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/) website APIs and display select information on a Smashing (https://smashing.github.io/) dashboard. For convenience sake, the dashboard piece can be easily downloaded as a docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/tephlon/n8n_dashboard) and installed into your docker environment.
