API Docs
Swagger UI and the OpenAPI document are available directly from the service:
GET /docs(Swagger UI)GET /docs/(Swagger UI)GET /openapi.json(OpenAPI 3.1 JSON)
Note: badge endpoints are implemented as 302 redirects to img.shields.io. In Swagger UI, "Try it out" typically shows the followed downstream 200 image/svg+xml response when the redirect target succeeds.
Caching & Rate Limits
The API applies Cache-Control and an in-memory service-wide IP rate limit so badge renderers (GitHub and similar markdown clients) can cache safely while still limiting abuse:
GET /visits/*:Cache-Control: no-store- Badge redirect endpoints (
/years,/repos,/gists,/updated,/created):public, max-age=0, s-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate=600 GET /commits/*:public, max-age=0, s-maxage=120, stale-while-revalidate=300- SVG endpoints (
/contributors,/last-stars):public, max-age=0, s-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate=600 - Docs/OpenAPI (
/docs,/openapi.json):public, max-age=300, s-maxage=300
All hits to the service count toward the same limiter window per source IP. When request limits are exceeded, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with Retry-After and RateLimit-* headers.
