I'm using Mozilla BadgeKit Self-Hosting, downloaded complete code from github and installed it on my localhost(wamp) its working and i can create badges from front end but I want to make and access badges via API. I have found badgekit-api directory.
I want to know the basic flow that how can I use API in my website to interact with mozilla badgekit,
i tried to make a custom app in badgkit api directory but it did not work for me.
My website is an online quiz system and i want to issue a badge to quiz participants when they pass their quiz.
Please tell me where to put badge creation code and how to show achieved badges on my website

Thanks!

Hi Damon:  Here is a general overview of badge awarding using the API: https://github.com/mozilla/badgekit-api/wiki/Awarding-Badges


Here are a few other links that may be helpful: 


I refer to these (often) as I build custom backpacks and integrate / hack on APIs.  If you're interested in a deep dive, I'm happy to explore and discuss.

All the available tutorials are providing help regarding working within API in node.js, but we want API help with php.

We are able to make it work a little if we make an app in node.js within Badgekit API app folder but that app will not interact with any other site or language - but we need it to interact with php or asp.net.


please help.

We wanted to start using this but the link provided, http://www.badgekit.org/ does not open. Is there another location to obtain the BadgeKit?
Thanks!

@ML

The old Mozilla badgekit ("old" is relative) is being revamped; you can still find the github repository here:

The README.md has some notes if you want to try to install the badgekit and the API yourself. But again, the whole thing is in transition, and the current incarnation is not supported (or not well supported); hopefully, Nate Otto will have more to say. :)
