Description

Goal is to add an installs badge to display the number of downloads/installs for particle.io libraries. The API endpoint is here and requires authentication via a personal access-token.

I'd like to take a stab at it but am not sure how to really integrate/require credentials. I think there is a tutorial somewhere, or I'll dive into the source on one of the other badges that requires them. Any help/input would be appreciated!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing badges that require authentication (e.g., those using personal access tokens), understand how credentials are configured in the codebase, and then implement the badge for Particle library installs using the provided API endpoint.
