Hey,
I was wondering if someone could help me please. Is it possible to create a shield to follow a Twitter user? What I have below is mostly ok (I'm fine with it just being a link to my profile) but what I've done is adjust the tweet URL shield and I'd like to not show the counter if possible.

Markdown

[![Twitter URL](https://img.shields.io/twitter/url/https/twitter.com/fold_left.svg?style=social&label=Follow%20%40fold_left)](https://twitter.com/fold_left)

Output

Twitter URL

I've looked around the source but can't see anything, it could be that this simply isn't available.

Thanks for such a useful service.

Jamie

Oh, I know I had a self-note somewhere about something similar…

There! #518 (comment)

(Self note: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/users/show has user lookups, with followers_count and statuses_count; curl 'http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=stefansiegl' requires auth.)

The auth part is the thorn in our feet. The rate-limiting, too: 180req/5min, or 12req/min.

That said, you're right, we don't have the functionality currently.

This adds a twitter follow badge. It also updates the social template
to include a `nobubble` option which will ignore the data in text[1]
and not draw the bubble to the right of the badge. Simply add
&nobubble=true to the URL of your badge.
