🔧 How it works

Live Scholar Stats

1. update-scholar.py — Python script that fetches your Scholar profile page and parses the stats table into scholar.json.
2. .github/workflows/update-scholar.yml — GitHub Actions workflow that runs the script daily at 00:00 UTC (08:00 Beijing) and auto-commits any changes.
3. Front-end — index.html fetches scholar.json on page load and animates the numbers into the stats cells. Silently falls back to cached values if the file is unreachable.

Manual refresh

python3 update-scholar.py

Or trigger from GitHub: Actions → Update Scholar Stats → Run workflow.

Required GitHub settings

For the Action to push back to the repo, go to: Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions → Read and write permissions
