# Badger
[Badger](http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/148570/badger-the-tumbleweed-detector) queries the [Stack Exchange API](http://api.stackexchange.com/), specifically for [badges](https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/badges).
The main idea of Badger was to return the new list of Tumbleweed posts on Stack Overflow, every 10 minutes. The motivation for this bot was the [Weed Eater](http://winterbash2015.stackexchange.com/weed-eater) hat. Badger now tracks other badges also.
Badger queries the API every 10 mins. If there are new badges, then it'll print the number of new posts with a link to that particular badge page. If there are no new ones, it waits for another 10 minutes.
[Badger](http://stackoverflow.com/users/7240793/badger) now runs in the [SOBotics room](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/111347/sobotics) along with its other bot friends. Do visit them and say "Hi".
See [the Badger wiki](https://sobotics.github.io/Badger/) for more information.
