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" }
