CCMenu gives a 401 Unauthorized error

Drone Support
1

I’m using BuildNotify in order to get my CI results directly on my project, and would like to use it as well to track the results of the builds on a project hosted on my Gitea instance and using Drone CI.

Four years ago, it has been said that Drone supported CCMenu by giving an URL under the following form: http(s)://example.com/api/badge/github.com/{owner}/{repo}/cc.xml. Even though this URL seems to work if you remove the github.com part, on a private project it gives a 401 Unauthorized error to BuildNotify, because a session cookie is needed to access the resource. This behavior can be reproduced with a REST client like Insomnia or with cURL:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://example.com/api/badges/Me/Project/cc.xml \
  --cookie _session_=TheCookieValueHere

Is there any way to use the cc.xml route without any cookie on private projects?

Subsidiary suggestion: currently, the cc.xml route serves an XML content, but the Content-Type given by the server in HTTP headers is text/plain. It would be great for this header to be application/xml instead, just to fit the Web standards. :slight_smile:

You should use your API token to access restricted API endpoints [1]

curl --request GET \
- --url https://example.com/api/badges/Me/Project/cc.xml \
- --cookie _session_=TheCookieValueHere
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
+ --url https://example.com/api/badges/Me/Project/cc.xml

the information in that issue is outdated and the system has changed significantly in 4 years. You can find the ccmenu URL by navigating to your repository settings page, scroll to the bottom section labeled badges, and choose ccmenu from the dropdown.
