How to generate token to access the badger api data

I wanted to use badger APIs to get awarded a badge but for that, I can see we need to generate access token first by this endpoint -

https://api.badgr.io/o/token

I am following this link - https://canvas.badgr.io/docs/v2/ to generate an access token but getting an invalid client error can someone help me so that I can able to call Badger APIs?

I want to show all badges in my own custom app by calling the APIs of Badger inside camvas lms .

Hi Praveen,

I utilize the following script to generate a token - this is written using Powershell, but could be converted into whatever language you are using:

$user = "[enter Badgr email address here]"

$pass = "[enter Badgr password here}"

$TokenBody = "username=$user&password=$pass"

$TokenUri = "https://api.badgr.io/o/token"

$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $TokenUri -Method Post -Body $TokenBody

$token = $result.access_token

$token

Hello @PraveenShukla
Thanks for posting in the Community!

We do have a quickstart guide for obtaining an access token as the first step to use the Canvas Badges API.
https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Badges/Canvas-Badges-App-Developers-API-Guide-Quickstart/ta-p/528729

@jmerlenbach2 Thank you for contributing to this thread as well!

From that guide, we have the command documented in cURL:

This guide will focus on getting started quickly, so we’ll use a password-based grant on Canvas Badges’s US-based free hosted service, or use a different region as described above. Request authentication by making a POST request to https://api.badgr.io/o/token with your email address and password as the username and password request parameters. This request may be made with a JSON request body, form-data, or x-www-form-urlencoded.

For example, from cURL: curl -X POST 'https://api.badgr.io/o/token' -d "username=YOUREMAIL&password=YOURPASSWORD"

We hope this helps! Please follow up with any questions.

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?

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…
