Question: How can I use this on private repos?

[rlejeune]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I really like your idea, and was wondering what would be the best solution to use it on private repos.
I tried installing the proxy locally for some testing but it looks like GutHub is blocking it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
Thank you!

Hi @rlejeune, unfortunately, you can't right now 'by default', the problem is we are using a CORS proxy to actually do the call to the GitHub endpoints but the CORS proxy is not authenticated against GitHub so it will always fail.
Ideally, the perfect solution should be to get rid of the CORS proxy and use an access token to make the requests.

• To get rid of the CORS proxy maybe a browser extension will help to remove the browser restrictions. Something to try might be to set cors proxy to '' in https://github.com/pystol/badgeboard/blob/master/assets/data_source/badges_list.js#L19
  and try with the extension.

• Introduce the access_token in the requests.
  This might be achieved by setting the token with something like this
  url: i['uri']+"&access_token="+getAccessToken(),

Or adding the header with the Authorization parameter like:

$.ajax({
headers: {'Authorization': 'token '+ getAccessToken()},
url: i['uri'],

From:
https://github.com/pystol/badgeboard/blob/master/index.html#L229

WDYT?

Hi @ccamacho, thank you for your reply and for your work. This dashboard would certainly be better than my markdown sheet with all the badges ;)

I'll give it a try and let you know if I can make it works!

Have a great day

@rlejeune I quickly tried but didn't work like with an easy workaround, I opened this https://github.community/t/getting-the-status-of-a-badge-from-a-private-repository/116119 so just after getting the correct syntax it would be fairly easy to have it in the code.

Thanks for the feedback!

From1:
Unfortunately private badge statuses are not exposed with our current URL structure. Sorry about that!

We are working to update the documentation to reflect the limitations of accessing a private badge status from outside the repository:

https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/configuring-a-workflow#adding-a-workflow-status-badge-to-your-repository

We really appreciate feedback on how we can make GitHub even better and the best way to report any feature requests is directly to us through our feedback form: https://support.github.com/contact/feedback

Our roadmap is not publicly visible, so we recommend that you keep an eye on the GitHub Blog for the latest announcements about new features.

Thank you for the follow up, lets hope that one day we will be able to something to have a nice dashboard of all our actions.

Have a great day!
