GitHub Streak Stats not loading (broken image)

Open DarkSylver opened this issue 8 months ago • 7 comments

Describe the bug
The GitHub Streak Stats image from https://github-readme-streak-stats.herokuapp.com is not loading correctly in my GitHub profile README. Instead of rendering the image, it displays as broken.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Visit my profile
  2. Observe that the image does not load
  3. Alternatively, embed the image URL (https://github-readme-streak-stats.herokuapp.com/?user=DarkSylver&theme=tokyonight) in a GitHub profile README and view the broken image icon

Expected behavior
The image should render a GitHub streak chart with the selected theme (tokyonight) and show activity for the user DarkSylver.

Screenshots
Image

Desktop:

  • Device: Dell Latitude 3520
  • OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
    • Version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045
  • Browser: Google Chrome
    • Version: 123.0.6312.107

Smartphone:

  • Not tested on mobile

Network

  • Connection: Wired Ethernet (Realtek PCIe GbE)

Additional context
Other dynamic content such as language usage stats are loading fine in the same README. This issue seems isolated to the GitHub Streak Stats service, possibly related to Heroku availability or a backend failure.

you just need to change the link in your template

use this https://github-readme-streak-stats-eight.vercel.app/?user=thesirix&theme=tokyonight

instead of heroku. The vercel one is working for me

Thanks for your suggestion, and I'm glad that instance is working for you.

However, my report is specifically about the official endpoint hosted on Heroku:
https://github-readme-streak-stats.herokuapp.com

Switching to a third-party instance (like the one deployed on Vercel by thesirix) is not a proper fix in this context, because:

  • It is not the official domain of the project
  • There's no guarantee regarding its uptime, integrity, or long-term maintenance
  • The code might be modified and may not reflect the original repository

The goal of this issue is to clarify the status of the official service—whether it's temporarily down, permanently discontinued, or moved elsewhere. Ideally, this would be documented or communicated by the maintainers.

Thanks again!

Hi. I can say "it's fixed". Github just considered me a large-scale contributor, so only my public contributions are accessible.

I believe the error arises in cases of large contributions.

Hi. In the contribution graph, there is an asterisk indicating that.
