Shields: Badge request: GitHub Sponsors

[Prajwal-Koirala]

Hey,
Can we add one for github sponsors

Thanks.

Hi @Prajwal-Koirala! Could you provide some additional information by responding to the below questions?

1. What sort of information should this badge show? Count of sponsors?
2. Would this be sponsors for a repo, org/user, both? (I think org sponsors are still in beta, but will be out at some point)
3. Where can the data be retrieved from/what's the API?
4. What's the use case/what value would it provide?

[Prajwal-Koirala]

1. Yes the count of sponsors
2. org/user / sponsors have been to the public for some time now https://github.com/sponsors
3. not sure
4. getting more sponsors

org/user / sponsors have been to the public for some time now https://github.com/sponsors

Per https://github.com/sponsors

Note: GitHub Sponsors for organizations is currently in beta and subject to change.

I only noted the beta status because it is common for beta GitHub features to not have API availability or for the API documentation to not exists (we saw this with Actions and Packages for example).

Info on sponsors is available via the v4 (GraphQL) API, but not the REST API.

In the meantime, this creates a nice static badge:

A GitHub Sponsors button that we can include in our README.md's and that is stylable to look like the original, would be really useful.
