Chrome web store badge doesn't always show the "K"

Hello @amio !

This badge says "4" when I open it in my browser, when it's supposed to say "4K".

However, it says "4K" when I include it on GitHub using markdown, which is very weird...

Here is the dynamic badge. Right now, I see "4K", but maybe it will say "4" in a few hours 🤷

Do you have an explanation for this weird behavior?
Thanks!

amio commented

That's strange 🤔

bokub commented

Yes, very strange!

Do you also see "5" when you open the link ?

So weird, I see 5.
I'm on mobile, on a different network since last time...

Hello !

It looks like this bug it still going on, and it's now visible directly on the homepage of badgen.net, where I can read "200 users", while there are actually 200k users

The issue might be coming from webextension-store-meta, which looks abandonned by its maintainer

bokub commented

Oh, I think I understand now ! The result seems to depend on the request location

For example,

  • with a proxy based in New York, I see 200K
  • with a proxy based in Francfort, I see 200

Maybe the chrome web store response depends on the location, and this is not properly handled by webextension-store-meta for European countries...

As a temporary fix, I created a runkit endpoint to fix this badge:

https://runkit.com/bokub/chrome-web-store-users

Example badge using this endpoint: Chrome users
URL: https://badgen.net/runkit/bokub/chrome-web-store-users/hpoiflhmfklhfcfpibmdmpeonphmdbda
