description: "The deprecated /v1/badges/* endpoints are gone; a Mergify badge embedded in a README no longer renders."
---

The `/v1/badges/*` endpoints, which served a [shields.io](http://shields.io/) badge showing whether Mergify was enabled on a repository, have been removed. They were deprecated in March 2026 and now return 404.

If you embed a Mergify badge in a README (`https://api.mergify.com/v1/badges/<owner>/<repo>.svg`), remove the image. There is no replacement endpoint.
