Hello GS CC folks! Im looking to assign a few thousand badges to users within our community. Support recommend using the API to update the badging. I have not done this before and the only thing I given by support was a url of https://api2-us-west-2.insided.com/docs/user/#tag/User:-Badges/operation/awardBadge 

 

Has anyone done this before? Do you have any tips?

 

The system asks for IDs however there is no clarification on what the ID actually is. Is it a number? Is it a username? Is it a different ID you cannot see in admin?

Thanks for any advice!

There’s an open Idea for adding User ID to the exports that just got updated this week to “Development.” 🙌🏻

​@mitchell.gordon We used the API to fetch and populate a list of User IDs, like ​@revathimenon suggested, but we did ours by usernames. I referenced this in another thread recently, but I can go ahead and post the guide here if there are no objections (admins, please remove if needed!).

I’m not a developer and this was created with chatGPT and some trial and error. So...it’s not a definitive recommendation or anything, but it’s what worked for us; your mileage may vary. 

Ill give this a shot next time around! Thank you for the doc. Seems to go over everything well!
