GitLab Badges API

Use this API to manage badges for [projects](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/badges/) and [groups](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/badges/#group-badges). ## Placeholders Badges support placeholders that are replaced in real time in both the link and image URL. The following placeholders are available: - `%{project_path}`: replaced by the project path. - `%{project_title}`: replaced by the project title. - `%{project_name}`: replaced by the project name. - `%{project_id}`: replaced by the project ID. - `%{project_namespace}`: replaced by the project's namespace full path. - `%{group_name}`: replaced by the project's top-level group name. - `%{gitlab_server}`: replaced by the project's server name. - `%{gitlab_pages_domain}`: replaced by the domain name hosting GitLab Pages. - `%{default_branch}`: replaced by the project default branch. - `%{commit_sha}`: replaced by the project's last commit SHA. - `%{latest_tag}`: replaced by the project's last tag. Group badge endpoints operate outside a project's context, so placeholder values are taken from the group's earliest-created project. If no projects exist in the group, the URL is returned unchanged.
