Endpoint Badge

Using the endpoint badge, you can provide content for a badge through a JSON endpoint. The content can be prerendered, or generated on the fly. To strike a balance between responsiveness and bandwidth utilization on one hand, and freshness on the other, cache behavior is configurable, subject to the Shields minimum. The endpoint URL is provided to Shields through the query string. Shields fetches it and formats the badge.

The endpoint badge takes a single required query param: url, which is the URL to your JSON endpoint

Example JSON Endpoint Response

{ "schemaVersion": 1, "label": "hello", "message": "sweet world", "color": "orange" }

Property	Description
schemaVersion	Required. Always the number 1.
label	Required. The left text, or the empty string to omit the left side of the badge. This can be overridden by the query string.
message	Required. Can't be empty. The right text.
color	Default: lightgrey. The right color. Supports the eight named colors above, as well as hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla and css named colors. This can be overridden by the query string.
labelColor	Default: grey. The left color. This can be overridden by the query string.
isError	Default: false. true to treat this as an error badge. This prevents the user from overriding the color. In the future, it may affect cache behavior.

logoColor	Default: none. Same meaning as the query string. Can be overridden by the query string. Only works for simple-icons logos.
logoSize	Default: none. Make icons adaptively resize by setting auto. Useful for some wider logos like amd and amg. Supported for simple-icons logos only.
style	Default: flat. The default template to use. Can be overridden by the query string.
