[Solved] Is there any json/xml/yaml api to get AUR user information?

I recently notice <https://shields.io/>, it allow user to customize a badge:

```
https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/js … x=<SUFFIX>
https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/xm … x=<SUFFIX>
https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/ya … x=<SUFFIX>
```

So, is there AUR exists any api like <https://codestats.net/api-docs> or <https://wakatime.com/developers/>? Such as:

```
GET /api/users/Freed HTTP/1.1

{
"Username":     "Freed",
"Account Type":     "User",
"Real Name":     "wzy",
"Homepage":     "https://freed-wu.github.io",
"IRC Nick":     "wzy",
Status:     "Active",
"Registration date":     "2022-03-02 (CST)",
"Last Login":     "2022-05-25 (CST)",
"package number": 13,
"packages": {...}
}
```

Then user can use

```
[
```

In their `README.md`

No - the information is not public in the first place. There is only a list of AUR users: https://aur.archlinux.org/users.gz

There's the AUR RPC which provides information for packages which can be searched by the maintainer user name.  I don't believe you can retrieve user information, though based on your description, I'm not sure why you'd want user information - if you want to pick a "shield" to display on an upstream source repo page, then you'd only need to request information for that package, not for a give user.

EDIT: Alad, what do you mean that information is not "public"?  I am not aware of a JSON API for it, but it is readily displayed openly on the web, how is that not public?  E.g., here's yours:
https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Alad

Well, you have to login to view it. I am currently not logged in, so I get:
