Score Badges

Embed a live Nixer Score badge in any README. The badge is a shields.io-compatible SVG served at https://nixer.polsia.app/badge/{owner}/{repo}.svg — auto-updated after every re-scan.

Badge URL

https://nixer.polsia.app/badge/{owner}/{repo}.svg

Replace {owner} and {repo} with the GitHub owner and repository name. Examples:

https://nixer.polsia.app/badge/langchain-ai/langchain.svg
https://nixer.polsia.app/badge/openai/openai-agents-python.svg
https://nixer.polsia.app/badge/microsoft/autogen.svg

Score colors and grades

Caching behavior

Scored badges are served with Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600 — they refresh hourly. Unknown repos return a grey "unscanned" badge with a 5-minute cache so the score shows up quickly after the first scan completes.

The badge URL never returns a 404 — an unscanned repo gets a grey badge. This prevents broken image icons in READMEs.

Live example

Here's what the badge looks like in practice (using a repo on the leaderboard):

Getting badges from the leaderboard

Every entry on the AI Security Leaderboard has a Get badge button. Click it to open a modal with copy-paste Markdown, HTML, and the raw SVG URL — pre-filled with the correct owner/repo.
