This is a great opportunity to remind everyone that http://shields.io/ has been providing high quality SVG badges for all your repo metadata needs for 5 years now.

Even if Shields doesn't support the specific third-party service integration you're looking for you can generate a badge using the incredibly simple image API:

- https://img.shields.io/badge/hacker-news-orange.svg

- https://img.shields.io/badge/rate-limited-red.svg

The API is open source: https://github.com/badges/shields

I started the project although it's maintained by Thaddée Tyl and Paul Melnikow these days. Here's a bit of backstory: http://olivierlacan.com/posts/an-open-source-rage-diamond/
