I’m currently configuring my Discourse instance (loving it by the way - great job guys!) to go with my site. I’ve gotten SSO going successfully, and am now in the process of setting up the badge system. I’d like to award badges for actions completed on the site, with Discourse acting as a sort of hub for profiles and discussion.

I know there are APIs for things like topics, search etc but wasn’t sure how I’d go about this. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction!
