Description

:clipboard: Description

A badge for users, rating etc. of a Thunderbird add-on/extension.

:link: Data

The API is likely similar to how the AMO things are implemented: https://github.com/badges/shields/tree/master/services/amo

:microphone: Motivation In the same way as for Firefox add-ons, I should be able to use it to promote my add-on/extension.

Similar to https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/4690 and the existing Mozilla Add-ons badges.

Research direction
Examine the existing AMO service implementation under services/amo to understand the pattern used for Firefox add ons. Then, create a similar service for Thunderbird add ons, referencing the Thunderbird API documentation linked in the issue. The implementation involves defining a service class with badges for users, ratings, and version, similar to the AMO service. Look at the test files for AMO to understand testing patterns. Ensure that the new service uses the correct API endpoints and handles errors appropriately.
