Altmetric badges

The Altmetric plugin for EPrints is available from the Bazaar or GitHub (see the '3_4' branch for the 'ingredient' version).

Changes (November 2025) - API key now mandatory

Before v2.0.0 the Altmetric plugin used the Altmetric API to get data. In v2.0.0+ this has been updated to use the API if an API key is defined, and fall back to the Altmetric 'embed' script to display the badges.

Please see the README at https://github.com/eprintsug/altmetric/ for full details.

You can also embed the badges without this plugin - see instructions here: [1], although the plugin assists in finding relevant identifiers within a record to display.
