Hi Canvas Developers Group,

Does anyone know if you can use the Canvas API to review Canvas Credentials (for instance, checking whether badges are properly setup within courses at scale)?  I haven’t found anything about Badges in the All API Resources, but I’m wondering if this is possible now that Canvas Credentials is an official Instructure Product.

Thanks so much for your help and ideas!

Hey @padgett4,

Canvas Credentials was another service that Instructure acquired a few years ago, Badgr. From what it looks like, Canvas Credentials has its own API separate from the Canvas API: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Badges-Credentials/Developers-Build-an-app-that-integrates.... Here's the list of API endpoints for Canvas Credentials: https://api.badgr.io/docs/v2/

I don't think there's any API that allows you to interact with the Canvas Credentials/Canvas integration, so you'd have to piece together the data you need yourself.

I hope this gets you on the right track.
