Shields: Support for Katacoda badge

[adriens]

Hi, that would be great to have a Katacoda badge, I may consifer this as a social platform like GH/Twitter.

Hello @adriens ! 👋🏻

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not familiar with this service, what would such a badge display?

[adriens]

Hi,

it would display the number of scenarios. You can get a preview of what Katacoda provides by default:

Okay, the badge would need to be slightly different to be consistent with Shields' offering and follow our guidelines (https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#badge-guidelines), but apart from that it should be fine.

Do you know if there's an API available to easily retrieve the number of scenarios?

[adriens]

I'm trying to look for if there is a public API I'll let you know 👍

[adriens]

I'm on it 🚀

I've just dropped en email to their support:

Hi guys,
I'd like to be able to get Katacoda badges from shields.io to embed some of my katacoda metrics on my projects/webpages.
I've created a dedicated issue: https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/5758
So the question is: do you have any public API that can deliver scores on:
number of coursesnumber of scenariosother score centric metrics (nb of scenarios achieved, ...)
I really love your platform, getting public APIs would be awesome... I could even write  a scenario on how to consume it ;-p
Hope to see you soon on the GH ticket.
Kind regards,Adrien

now let's 🤞

Great, seems like the badge will be doable in a few months then. 😉
