Overview
The "Get Community Badges" operation in the Community resource retrieves badges from a community badge system. This node is useful for scenarios where you want to list or display badges available within a community, such as showing user achievements, gamification elements, or filtering badges by groups.
Practical examples include:
- Displaying a paginated list of badges on a dashboard.
- Fetching badges belonging to a specific badge group to show targeted achievements.
- Integrating badge data into reports or notifications.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Badge Group ID | If set, only badges from this specific badge group will be retrieved and displayed. |
| Limit | Maximum number of badge results to return (minimum 1). Defaults to 50. |
| Offset | Number of badges to skip for pagination purposes (minimum 0). Defaults to 0. |
Output
The output is a JSON array where each item represents a badge object retrieved from the community badge system. Each badge object typically contains details such as badge ID, name, description, associated group, and other metadata relevant to the badge.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent badge images or related media, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is purely JSON structured data about badges.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LearningSuite API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
- The node depends on the LearningSuite API service to fetch community badge data.
Troubleshooting
- No handler error: If you see an error like
No handler for resource "community" and operation "getBadges", ensure that the resource and operation names are correctly set and supported by the node version. - API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions to access community badge data.
- Pagination issues: Setting an offset larger than the total number of badges may result in empty responses; adjust limit and offset accordingly.
- Empty results: If no badges are returned, check if the Badge Group ID filter is correct or try removing it to get all badges.
