How to generate token to access the badger api data

[PraveenShukla]

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/t...

@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.
