Fetch commits from GitHub's REST API

The following generates a markdown table from the latest commits on the GitHub repository hosting this FastPages site. We're generating the table the "lazy programmer way" - Mr. Mort, 2022.

import requests

r = requests.get("https://api.github.com/repos/safinsingh/fastpages-apcsp/commits")
commits = r.json()

print("| commit name | hash | date & time |")
print("|-------------|------|-------------|")
for commit in commits:
    print("| {} | {} | {} |".format(
        commit["commit"]["message"],
        commit["sha"][0:7],
        commit["commit"]["committer"]["date"]
    ))
