💡 Possible Solution

We interact with chrome web store via a package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/webextension-store-meta

As a starting point I've raised an issue upstream at https://github.com/awesome-webextension/webextension-store-meta/issues/2

We might need to look into contributing a fix to the upstream lib ourselves. I guess something has changed in chrome web store itself that needs accounting for when we call it :crossed_fingers:

A major redesign and domain change was released

Most of these are fixed (users, version, rating, etc), but we had to drop the price badges as the data is no longer available.

it seems be still failing for some extensions? https://img.shields.io/chrome-web-store/stars/hkgmldnainaglpjngpajnnjfhpdjkohh got inaccessible, have to grant some permission thingy in webstore side settings?

I imagine it might be having trouble with the extension name containing a special character (改) in the url: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kancolle-command-center-改/hkgmldnainaglpjngpajnnjfhpdjkohh

yea, might be a case. have tried servral extensions with CJK character name, got the same issue. some handling of url encoding/deocoding needed for upstream?

Hi, I have recently fixed the FetchError issue with non-ASCII characters in the upstream webextension-store-meta library, and the patch is included in its v1.2.0 version. This version should fix the issue.
