How to add a shields badge for gitter.im (Now on matrix)?

[SeppPenner]

Are you experiencing an issue with...

shields.io

🐞 Description

I have tried to add a badge for a new gitter.im (Matrix) room I created, but it doesn't seem to work as expected:

E.g. ![Matrix](https://img.shields.io/matrix/GeoJsonCircleToPolygon%3Agitter.im) leads to an error:

Link to the room is https://matrix.to/#/#GeoJsonCircleToPolygon:gitter.im

🔗 Link to the badge

![Matrix](https://img.shields.io/matrix/GeoJsonCircleToPolygon%3Agitter.im)

So I think based on what you've posted, I'd expect the correct badge URL to be https://img.shields.io/matrix/GeoJsonCircleToPolygon%3Agitter.im?server_fqdn=matrix.to but that doesn't work for a different reason: We hit a 405 Method Not Allowed trying to POST to https://matrix.to/_matrix/client/r0/register?kind=guest . I expect that probably means matrix.to doesn't allow guest accounts, which are necessary for this badge to work.

There is a bit more info on this at https://shields.io/badges/matrix

I don't think I can provide any more help on this though. I don't use either matrix or gitter myself.

@chris48s Still thank you for your tries. I have no idea either how to handle this...

matrix.to isn't a Matrix server, just a tiny stateless SPA

server_fqdn=gitter.im would be ideal but that server doesn't allow guests, so you'd need actual credentials for it
