Does someone here know why #shields.io is blocking github? I am trying to create an #endpoint #badge on #github like so: https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://gist.github.com/mszell/fa90e1bc9a90719944b41f6af03ced49/raw/covbadge.json
The url https://gist.github.com/mszell/fa90e1bc9a90719944b41f6af03ced49/raw/covbadge.json is correct, but shields.io blocks the domain, and I don't understand why. I'm new to this, maybe I just overlook something stupid?

@mszll@datasci.social Apparently they refuse to send these requests to github to not run into rate limits: https://github.com/badges/shields/discussions/7435
