Shields.io
Quick and easy status badges, shields and shields.io logos.
This API is best for quickly adding custom badges and status indicators to websites and web-based applications.
A developer should use this API for its quick integration time, ease of use and customisation, along with its support for multiple formats and internationalization. Shields.io can be used to provide quick, visual indicators that help inform website visitors of the current state of development or status of the side project, such as build status or tests pass/fail.
Key features
- Supports multiple formats such as badges and icons
- easy to set up and integrate
- customizable styling and text
- internationalization support
- and supports extra metadata.
Potential use cases
- Event tracking badges: Create custom badges that provide visitors with a visual status indicator showing how many events have been triggered by visitors in a given period of time.
- Integration status badges: Create badges showing the status of different integration processes such as payment processing or third-party integrations.
- A/B testing badges: Create badges providing a snapshot of the results of an A/B testing experiment at any given time.
Since we started using Shields.io, our build badges and logo look super slick! We even integrated them into our deployment system with minimal effort and now get real-time updates to everything we do.
