See the comment from @jasoncwarner about GitHub actions being a platform for much more than CI.
I wonder how far that extends to non-GitHub provided services. For instance, could we leverage GitHub actions, perhaps even Flat Data, to scrape some web site and store it (perhaps uploading elsewhere) in a more comprehensive way vs. storing some small snippet of the data in a git repo?

- gerner 5y agoYes. Or S3 bucket, or whatever. The thing I'm getting at is, can we use GitHub actions for application tasks like web sraping that need compute and network access, but that don't really do much with with a git repo. Does GitHub want to support that?
