visitor-badge

Warning

The service is now deployed under a free version of glitch, so it will down if too many requests in the same time

Update at 2023-04-28: CountAPI service is DOWN, looking for another alternative for now, but it takes time, you should consider using hits as alternative (more stable), see issue #32

If you deployed forked project to your stable server and want to provide a free, stable service, which is very kind, please raise an issue to tell me so I can list your service url here:

Before you do that, DO update the md5_key in .env file to guess_what so that former users will not lose their count, otherwise the count will start from 1.

Other public services:

• https://visitor-badge.laobi.icu
• https://visitor-badge.deta.dev/ (By @Amresh Prasad Sinha) (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
• https://page-views.glitch.me (NOT WOKRING)

Other implementations:

You can implement in other languages, if you has, please let me know and I will update this list.

• NodeJS: Lete114/visitor-badge
• Go: Nathan13888/VisitorBadgeReloaded

Loved you work. Indeed nice work, Thanks for that. Please verify credibility and you might add it your Readme page to split the loads.

Please have a look at it. Minor changes in API calls and endpoints.

Badge shows user many times

It means that I can refresh the page and it will count me to visitors again. Even if I'm a creator of this repository.

how to deploy under my own glitch account

Could you please provide a simple guide on deploying this under glitch? Thanks!

Do not count visit to your own profile.

It is noticed that the counter is increasing when I visit my own profile. Although this shouldn't be the case.

Nodejs rewrites

I rewrote one in nodejs, I hope you can mention it in the README Lete114/visitor-badge :)

Error Fetching Resource

I have noticed that visitor-badge is not working and throwing Error Fetching Resource upon visiting the link.

Label and color

Hey, thanks for making this.
How can I change color, label etc?

SS-1: View Counter API down

Hello, the view counter api went down and I'm wondering if I can do anything to help fix it?

How do I include the visitor badge in my readme?

what is meaning of app sleeps?

The glitch site mentioned it sleeps after 5 mins of inactivity. Does this mean my visitor count stops? or the counter restarts?
I have forked the project and created another app on glitch. But still unaware of meaning of it sleeps.

Custom Styles

Can I have Styles with the badge like ?style=for-the-badge?

Styles

Can you please make styles? Like, if I will use https://visitor-badge.glitch.me/badge?page_id=BANanaD3V.BANanaD3V&style=for-the-badge, it will be like the shield.io with this style. I think it's not hard, I think you are using shields.io. And if I will refresh page, the counter will encrease. Can you make one user = one count

[⚡FEATURE-REQUEST] Add badge for library downloads.

Just like jitpack which shows the download count of our library, can you please add the same badge so that it can be directly demonstrated in GitHub readme.

Just the value of the number of views

Hello

Is it possible to somehow get only the counter value and not the icon?

Use redis as datastore

Since the CountAPI service is currently unavailable, this project is effectively unusable, and all of our historical data has been lost. To make a fresh start, I've switched to using Redis instead. If this change is in line with the project's objectives, I'd be happy to submit a pull request. Otherwise, I'm open to starting a separate project that utilizes Redis as its data storage solution.

Hosted On Deta 24/7 (visitor-badge.deta.dev)

I have hosted the visitor-badge on deta.dev as it goes down on glitch on many requests.
It's totally free and your app doesn't sleep or gives error on many requests like it does on glitch.me.

Here's the link: https://visitor-badge.deta.dev/

(left_color=red, right_color=green)

You can add this in the README so that others can use this too :)

Error Count API Failed !

A new counter and badge generate services

Hi @jwenjian,

I also came across the problem with access limitations, and I also found that lack of control over data.

Therefore, I wrote another counter service and badge generator service, which could help manage data better.

Relative documentation could be found here: https://plantree.github.io/project-docs/counter/usage.html。

Hope to provide an alternative solution for users facing similar problems.

Any suggestion will help me further improve these services and I'll appreciate.

Error Count api failed

The Visitor Badge API is currently not working and is displaying an error message stating that the count API has failed.

Potential bug in visitor count?

Hi! Thank you so much for allowing public access to create a visitor counter for GitHub profile. I ran into an issue and was wondering if you could explain. I copied and pasted the code for my GitHub profile's README but while editing I realized that ANY visit to the readme counts (including from me!). Is it true that the visitor count is not unique to visitors from same IP address? Currently every time I toggle between the "edit" and "preview" tabs of the README.md, I am seeing the number increase (without even committing). Please provide clarity if you can! Thank you
