Steps

  1. Authenticate to the Credly API using the credentials provided in your Credly account; all requests must include the appropriate authorization header and set Content-Type to application/json
  2. Retrieve the badge template identifier for the badge type you wish to issue from your organization's templates via the templates endpoint
  3. POST to the issued badges endpoint with the recipient's email, the badge template identifier, and any optional metadata (expiration, evidence URLs) to issue the badge; handle a 422 response by inspecting the returned validation errors
  4. To list all issued badges for an organization, GET the issued badges collection endpoint; the API returns at most 50 results per page, so iterate using the page query parameter until no further results are returned
  5. For bulk retrieval, use the bulk badges endpoint if available in your plan tier rather than paginating through the standard collection endpoint
