:beetle: Description

The service tests for Offset Earth have been failing for the past few days, and the example on our website now returns "username not found". Looking into things a bit more closely, it seems that Offset Earth has been renamed to Ecologi.

Offset Earth (Trees)

:bulb: Possible Solution

A few things need to be done:

  • fix the tests so that they use ecologi as the username instead of the old offsetearth one.
  • fix the examples we display on the website in a similar way.
  • modify the badge path so that it becomes https://img.shields.io/ecologi/${username}
  • implement a service redirector to keep compatibility with existing badges (existing example for another service and its tests).
  • potentially change the API endpoint we're hitting. We're currently using https://public.offset.earth, however, https://public.ecologi doesn't (yet?) seem to be a thing. Is there another hostname available and will the old one just stop working at some point?

@remotealex, @owenvoke, @jamesmills, @philsturgeon you were all involved in the original discussions in #4728, could you please shed some light on the last bullet point? Would one of you be willing to help us out and pick up this piece of work? :)

Regarding the last bullet, public.ecologi.com works as before: https://public.ecologi.com/users/treeware/trees

Added in https://github.com/badges/shields/pull/5434, hope that's all correct but let me know if not.

Hey all! Thanks @owenvoke for rustling up the PR.

Like Owen mentioned, changing everything offset.earth to ecologi.com should sort it out 馃憤
