How It Works

Badges are standard SVG images served with a 5-minute cache. When a browser or GitHub's CDN fetches the badge, we check your site in real-time and return an up-to-date result. No API key needed.

The same rate limits apply as our regular APIs (2 req/min per IP for free access). For higher limits, use a free API key or RapidAPI.
