Badges JSON Feed

This feed is useful for people making things like the Kongregate Firefox Sidebar. There are two different badge feeds - one for badge releases on the site, and the other as a list of badges a particular user has earned.

Recent Badges on Kongregate

http://www.kongregate.com/badges.json

This feed returns an array of badges with the following info:

  • Badge description
  • Title and URL of the game(s) the badge is on
  • Badge name
  • URL of badge icon
  • Badge difficulty / points earned
  • How many users have earned it
  • When it was created
  • Unique id

User-specific Badge List

http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/jimgreer/badges.json

This one returns the badges earned by the given user as a list of badge ids and the date earned.

You can also have these call a javascript function directly (sometimes useful if you’re doing an AJAX web app):
