Add support for bountysource.com

It would be awesome if you support bountysoure.com badges.

A badge looks like this:

They have an API it is documented here.

Thanks a lot for the information!

I'll try to implement this next week.

I am astounded by this API page. Either they stopped supporting it, or it never was, and they published this anyway. The bottom line is that it does not work, and I have no idea how to make it work. The trick isn't to use an Accept: application/json, nor is it to use Accept: application/vnd.bountysource+json (as the RAML definition weirdly suggests).

On the plus side, the badges they provide rely on my own design, which means that the data is embedded in the SVG as text.

You are right, the API doesn’t behave like it’s documented. I‘ve used the chrome developer tools to show me how the actual requests work and was able to do some requests with the header Accept: application/vnd.bountysource+json; version=2.

However, I think it is easier to read the data from the svg.

Has something changed? Now Mozilla shows no issues, no bounties, nothing.

Thanks for giving me the header that works! Further research showed that they have secret APIs, such as this:

$ curl 'https://api.bountysource.com/teams/mozilla' -H 'Accept: application/vnd.bountysource+json; version=2'

I'd prefer working with that than straight up string scraping.

It seems they renamed the team to Mozilla Core

The bug I filed for the faulty API is on their API documentation website, but its last commit dates back from March.

I'm tempted to scrape the SVG; even their frontend is months old.

[espadrine]

The first thing I can implement according to the developers is team activity.

I'll close this issue with this, more badges will be added as they are implemented by bountysource.
