Shields: JitPack downloads not available?

[payne911]

My understanding is that there is an history of problems with the JitPack Downloads badge, but I believe the latest PR merged was supposed to re-introduce it?

... yet I don't see the badge featured in your official GitHub Pages list.

Is it available or not?

Thanks!

I've just re-deployed. Should be all set.

@paulmelnikow maybe I just don't know where to look.

Is it supposed to be the GitHub ones? Or should it mention JitPack ?

I did Ctrl+F5 to refresh my cache when reloading the page.

The JitPack Download badges were permanently deprecated, refs #4873. Unfortunately the service APIs were far too unstable and unreliable with no response from the provider for us to continue to provide the badges.

I see. Thank you!

May I inquire what GitHub All Releases corresponds to, then?

The aggregate count of downloads across all the releases in the GitHub repo, as reported by the GH API

aggregate count of downloads across all the releases in the GitHub repo

That's precisely what I'm not certain about. Which action increases that counter?

It is by clicking any of the assets of a specific tagged release ?

This is a question probably best directed to the service, GitHub in this case, and/or their community forums. IIRC, it's driven on the binary assets of a release being downloaded, not a click counter.
