Github Action - Check for new PyPI package version

Question

I want to make a Github action to automatically start a DockerHub build on PyPI package update who depends my program.

For the Dockerhub part, no real problem, just call the webhook. For the PyPI part is more difficult for me. I don't know how get a package version from Github action. I think to use tag on my repo to store the latest known version of the PyPI package to compare.

If you can help me on how:

• From Github action, I can get PyPI package version
• Compare to a Github repo tag or any other better idea
• Confirm that for call the DockerHub webhook, I need to use https://github.com/marketplace/actions/workflow-webhook-action

Thanks to you

I can't find anything so I decided to make my own Github action to do this. You can check and use it here : https://github.com/Verbalinsurection/track-pypi-version
