Python project for generating badges for your projects
Supports: Python 3.7-3.9 (2.7-3.6 support has been dropped)
anybadge can be used to add badge generation to your Python projects,
and also provides a command line interface.
This utility can be used to generate .svg badge images, using configurable
thresholds for coloring the badges based on the badge value. Many badge
generation tools just provide the ability to specify the color of badge.
anybadge allows you to specify the label, badge value, and color, but
it also allows you to specify a set of thresholds that can be used to
select a color based on the badge value.
anybadge may be useful for companies developing internally, or any time
making calls to external badge services is not possible, or undesirable.
In this situation using anybadge will be easier than running your own
internal badge service.
The package can be imported into your python code, or run direct from the command line.
You can find a repl.it demo here. This will allow you to see what the package can do and play with it to test outputs.
As an example, if you want to produce a pylint badge, you may run anybadge
from the command line like this:
anybadge -l pylint -v 2.22 -f pylint.svg 2=red 4=orange 8=yellow 10=greenThis would result in a badge like this:
In this example the label is set to "pylint", the value "2.22", and an
output file called "pylint.svg". The thresholds are provided in pairs
of <value>=color Values can be integer or floats for ranges, and
string values are also supported.
Here is the same example implemented in Python code:
import anybadge
# Define thresholds: <2=red, <4=orange <8=yellow <10=green
thresholds = {2: 'red',
4: 'orange',
6: 'yellow',
10: 'green'}
badge = anybadge.Badge('pylint', 2.22, thresholds=thresholds)
badge.write_badge('pylint.svg')anybadge is available in PyPi at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/anybadge
You can install the latest release of anybadge using pip:
pip install anybadgeThis will install the Python package, and also make anybadge available
as a command line utility.
To get help from the command line utility, just run:
anybadge --helpRunning the utility with the --file option will result in the .svg image being
written to file. Without the --file option the .svg file content will be
written to stdout, so can be redirected to a file.
Some thresholds have been built in to save time. To use these thresholds you can simply specify the template name instead of threshold value/color pairs.
anybadge --value=<VALUE> --file=<FILE> <TEMPLATE-NAME>For example:
anybadge --value=2.22 --file=pylint.svg pylintAnybadge comes with some pre-defined colors, which can be referred to by name. It also
supports the use of custom colors by using the hex representation of the color. Both color
types can be used in the default_color, text_color and thresholds attributes. Color names are
taken from the Mozilla color keywords list.
Here is a Python example showing use of a named color and a custom color.
import anybadge
badge = anybadge.Badge(label='custom color', value='teal', default_color='teal', num_padding_chars=1)
badge = anybadge.Badge(label='custom color', value='teal', default_color='#008080', num_padding_chars=1)Available named colors are:

It is possible to use emoji characters in badge labels and values. Here are some examples:
These files were created by using the actual emoji character in the label/value text. For example:
badge = anybadge.Badge(label="Pipeline status", value="😄")There are some caveats worth mentioning:
- The "look" of the emoji is determined by the client (Emoji characters are placed as-is into the SVG file, and are rendered client-side)
- Rendering may fail in some viewers and developer IDEs (for example, PyCharm does not render emojis in the svg viewer)
- Emojis can have different widths, so the layout may be affected. You can use
num_label_padding_charsandnum_value_padding_charsto fix (see below)
Here are some examples to show how to use padding to fix layout:
| Badge | Code |
|---|---|
|
anybadge.Badge("Pipeline status", "😄") |
 |
anybadge.Badge("Pipeline status", "😄", num_value_padding_chars=1) |
Anybadge supports semantic versions for value and threshold keys. This supports color-coded badges based on version numbering. Here are some examples:
badge = Badge(
label='Version',
value='3.0.0',
thresholds={'3.0.0': 'red', '3.2.0': 'orange', '999.0.0': 'green'},
semver=True
)In the above example the thresholds equate to the following:
- If value is < 3.0.0 then badge will be red.
- If value is < 3.2.0 then badge will be orange.
- If value is < 999.0.0 then badge will be green.
Each threshold entry is used to define the upper bounds of the threshold. If you don't know the
upper bound for your version number threshold you will need to provide an extreme upper bound -
in this example it is 999.0.0.
