[Action] Project Green Scraper - Integrate Green Scraper GitHub Actions workflow in the TAG ENV repo

[guidemetothemoon]

Description

Events page that we want to populate data from the Green Scraper tool to will be located in the TAG ENV website events folder in this repository. We would need to integrate the Green Scraper GitHub Actions workflow located in cncf-tags/tag-env-tooling to being triggered on a schedule in the TAG ENV (this) repository.

Outcome

Green Scraper GH Actions workflow is integrated to be triggered on a schedule in the TAG ENV (this) repository.

To-Do

• Integrate the Green Scraper GitHub Actions workflow located in cncf-tags/tag-env-tooling to being triggered on a schedule in the TAG ENV (this) repository.
• Define a schedule that the tool will be triggered on. Should be possible to trigger manually, but also once in a few months maybe. TBD.

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

I think that we should be able to use it as a reusable workflow since both repositories are public: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows#access-to-reusable-workflows
Updating files in the TAG ENV repo should also be relatively easy with reusable workflows.
From the GitHub docs:

If you reuse a workflow from a different repository, any actions in the called workflow run as if they were part of the caller workflow. For example, if the called workflow uses actions/checkout, the action checks out the contents of the repository that hosts the caller workflow, not the called workflow.

Will do a proof of concept on this and confirm.

Update.

The workflow code is ready in a feature branch in tag-env-tooling repo: cncf-tags/tag-env-tooling#7
Also, workflow code in the TAG ENV repo: https://github.com/cncf/tag-env-sustainability/tree/add-green-scraper-workflow

To test the workflow in the tag-env-tooling repo I requested a fine-grained token with necessary permissions that is pending approval from the cncf-tags organization admin:

We need to create/re-use if already exists a GitHub workflow token for the tag-env-sustainability repo as well, but I'm not a member of CNCF organization so I can't request a fine-grained token for the tag-env-sustainability repo that they own. @leonardpahlke is this something you can help me with or tag someone from CNCF who can help?

Below are the permissions I've requested for the token for the tag-env-tooling repo:

@Al-HusseinHameedJasim FYI.

@RobertKielty could you help us with the token?

I'll take a look.

@RobertKielty thanks a lot! Also, if you can review (or link a relevant person to review) the requested token at cncf-tags organization that would've been great and much appreciated :)
