Badge request: stars for github gist

[maratori]

📋 Description

Please add dynamic badge to show number of stars for github gist (not repo).

Example:

🔗 Data

Looks like need to use GraphQL: https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/objects#gist

{
  user(login: "maratori") {
    gist(name: "47a4d00457a92aa426dbd48a18776322") {
      stargazerCount
    }
  }
}

As far as I understand, it requires authentication.

🎤 Motivation

It'd be great to add this badge into my github profile.

hi @chris48s , i would like to work on this issue, can you please elaborate a little bit on how to go on to solve this issue?

Our tutorial is at https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/master/doc/TUTORIAL.md That covers most of the basics for adding a new badge and writing tests.

For this specific badge you will need to set your local copy up with a github api token by setting

private:
  gh_token: 'your-token-here'

in config/local.yml.

Because this badge will use a GraphQL query, you will need to write a new service class that extends GithubAuthV4Service. If you have a look at other services which extend GithubAuthV4Service https://github.com/badges/shields/search?q=GithubAuthV4Service you can find some similar examples to crib from.
