Hi Feodor

Is it possible to infer the URL for the build status badge for GitHub projects from the user and repo names? Would you consider providing an alternate URL path for such projects (or at lest the badges), like https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/krlmlr/r-appveyor instead of https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/xtc629xek00o5rui ? Thanks!

Cheers

Kirill

   That makes sense, thanks for the suggestion! We'll add an additional route to the existing one that will be available for public repos only.

   Here we go! New route has been added and must be in the form:

   https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/{github|bitbucket}/{repository}
   

   For example: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/AppVeyor/simple-web

   The note: This route works for public repositories only, of course!

   Optional parameters:

   • branch={name} - the name of branch to display status for
   • retina=true - status image scaled for retina display
   • svg=true - status image in SVG format (yes, we've just added it)

   Example: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/AppVeyor/simple-...

   Thanks! Perhaps you want to show this alternative URL for GitHub/BitBucket repositories in Settings/Badges.

   This is just what I needed. But why does https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/numenta/nupic.core?svg=true&branch=master show as failed, but https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/q9bc043vrhgd88sw?svg=true shows the last build as passing?

   Because there are three projects in AppVeyor database with numenta/nupic.core GitHub repository name - all under different accounts. There should be only one to make this URL work.

   So how do I get rid of those other projects? They were previous attempts
   from our open source community at Windows builds. The "numenta-ci" account
   is our primary now. Do I need to contact them directly?

   Yes, you can contact them and kindly ask to remove those projects from their accounts.

   Currently, there are three public projects targeting numenta/nupic.core repo:
   https://ci.appveyor.com/project/david-ragazzi/nupic-core-ahybq
   https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rhyolight/nupic-core
   https://ci.appveyor.com/project/numenta-ci/nupic-core

   To follow up on this: is it possible to get a link to the default build page by the following manner? e.g. something like https://ci.appveyor.com/project/github/ORG/REPO

    Hi Simon,

    Do you mean default AppVeyor page and not badge? If yes, we do not provide this URL route, because we don't know what to do when more than one AppVeyor project uses single repository. This is very common.
