🎫 Stack Overflow SVG-Flair Generator

This is a Stack-Overflow-Badge SVG graphic which gets automatically updated by a GitHub CI workflow.
It displays an overview for your StackOverflow badges and your reputation.

This is an alternative to the official flair you can find on your [StackOverflow prile page](your profile's Site Settings) under SITE SETTINGS > Flair. Unfortunately the original flair images have a very low resolution the configuration is very limited. This is why I desisnged my own flair and wrote this script to keep it up to date.

📖 How it works

This stackoverflow-badge.svg Node.js script reads the Stack Overflow user API and writes the badge stats into an SVG template file (badge-template.svg). If the generated badge is newer then the file in the repository, it commits the new generated stackoverflow-badge.svg to this GIT repository. The pipeline gets triggered by a cron job, which automatically updates the image every midnight.

You can link the generated file by:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/{userName}/stackoverflow-badge/master/stackoverflow-badge.svg

🛠 Config

The script can be configured to generate a badge for any user:

• userID: User-Id which can be found in your profile URL.
  Example url: https://stackoverflow.com/users/4198170/tobse
  userID = 4198170
• userName: Your username on StackOverflow (case-sensitive!).
  Used to ensure the fetched id returns the correct user.
• cron: You can change the update time interval in the .github/workflows/main.yml:
  On Line 6:
  - cron: '0 0 * * *' (every day at midnight). Uses the cron-job syntax.
