Feature: create umami report from api

[boly38]

Hi
I created a proof of concept : using github action to prepare an umami daily report based on api call

https://github.com/boly38/action-umami-report

this is a very first mvp

I plan to extract api client part into dedicated repo if no one exist (if such client already exist, please let me know)

feedbacks are welcome.
regards

Another alternative for email reports could be to create a new API endpoint, such as /api/report by creating a file pages/api/report.js.

GitHub actions can be used to invoke the API at regular intervals. When the API is invoked, it sends an email report to a particular email address.

Although, I also like the approach that you are using. Your approach is more modular and can be used to generate different type of reports.

Hey @boly38! I made an API client too, quite a bit inspired by yours honestly. I made it in TypeScript however, and I removed the need to pass the auth data on every request. I also added a unauthenticated client, that only supports the collect endpoint. It only has a single dependency, axios. I wanted to go with no dependency, but global fetch isn't super widespread yet. axios is quite a bit smaller than node-fetch, so the overall package is much smaller.
