Shields: Badge request: Gitbook build state

[xtaran]

I'm not sure if their API (https://developer.gitbook.com/) supports that already. But at least if you're logged in you see a history of successful and failed builds for your books, e.g. mine at https://www.gitbook.com/book/dpmb/dpmb/activity

Thanks for the suggestion!

The closest API I can see is this: http://developer.gitbook.com/books/index.html.

I can't access https://www.gitbook.com/book/dpmb/dpmb/activity unfortunately.

Gitbook badge seems to be available http://bl.ocks.org/roachhd/bf4b22008e7b8b69c1c1#GitBooks.md
Now we only need a touch of shield!

Thanks @jbytw for that hint! Didn't know that they have their own buttons. But maybe that's a rather new feature.

You may be able to use the fetchFromSvg(request, url, cb) function defined in server.js in that case.

When the gitbook badge will be available? Any plans ?

Just wanted to put out there that Shields is a community project, and that means you can help make this happen! 👐 We have a great tutorial and welcome anyone who would like to dig into this! Our maintainer team is happy to provide guidance on the API design and provide assistance with the implementation. We've had many first-time contributors who don't use JavaScript and have tried to make the first-time contributing experience as straightforward as possible.
