Badge Help for Students

Are there help pages for students whose teachers are using Badges / Badgr / Credentials? I can find pages for teachers, but I'm having trouble finding a Student Guide. If anyone has a link, I'd appreciate it.

I'm writing my own docs at this point. There is too much info on those pages that is irrelevant. We don't have pathways or the pro setup, so that's just extra info that will probably confuse students. Thanks anyway.

I feel like there is one roadblock after another trying to do this badge credential. I jumped through all the hoops and did all the test and it says I completed the badge, but when I click on credentials in Canvas, it shows that I did not earn the badge. Which is it?

Help screenshots still say Badgr
hi there, I'm creating a job aide for creating an account for claiming digital badges. We noticed that in your help link for creating an account, the instructions screenshots still say Badgr and not Parchment. The instructions are still the same, so no biggie. Just thought I'd mention it.

API to get pathway progress of a user
https://api.badges.parchment.com/v2/users/{idOrEntityId} What type of ID should I be using to get the badges and pathway progress for a particular user? I have used all the SIS ID, or the ID as shown on the badger portal, but nothing is working. What kind of the ID does the API call accept? please give an example.
Parchment Changes
Hi everyone! We began using Badgr through Canvas in 2018. We have always used it with our primary students, specifically grades K-5 and heavily in Kindergarten. It has come to our attention that the move to Parchment will not only require us to pay for this access, but also prevents us from using it with our K-5 students…
