[Feature Request] Shields.IO Endpoint API

[OdinVex]

Shields.IO supports custom endpoints to return information for badges. It'd be pretty neat for Gitea to have an endpoint to query various info to support it.

Could you provide some links for documentation on what would be needed?

Thanks for providing that information. I think this would be better suited for a 3rd party middleware, or 1st party support within shields, as otherwise we'd be duplicating all our endpoints to provide information in a specific format.

-> badges/shields#4040 etc...

Some things can't necessarily be queried by Shields.io, I'd also prefer an air-gapped situation. I disagree, but your project. Besides, it'd have only needed one endpoint, nothing more, nothing complicated.

they have fully github support, and githup does not implement there api either - so they muse be a way to do so

PS: they can reuse most of the github code anyway as gitea mimic most endpoints

Implementing an endpoint can save a lot of bandwidth instead of requiring them to download entire pages to parse. I get the impression you might not know what endpoint I was talking about...a queryable API specifically for Shields.io...?
