Using git-history to build a web scraper in less than a minute

Simon Willison describes in his blog post git-history, a python tool which leverages a pattern, previously described by Simon to scrape web content via Github actions. Basically it saves every different version of a web resource. I wanted to try this pattern on a to this date static source of open data, to supply the future with a time series of this former static source. So I did with the parking data of Frankfurt and you can inspect the data in this repository.
