Short answer

How can I track my Credly badge issuance and issuer status?

Your AI pulls data from Credly to list issued badges and authorized issuers. This lets you check program adoption and ensure only approved entities are handing out credentials. You'll see the specific outcomes below.

The results you get

What you can track

The AI pulls specific data from Credly to give you a clear view of your credentialing program.

ADOPTION

Track badge counts

The AI pulls data on issued badges to show you how many people have earned specific credentials. You get a clear picture of program growth.

SECURITY

Verify authorized issuers

Check the list of entities allowed to issue badges. This helps you catch unauthorized activity immediately.

COMPLIANCE

Audit issuance patterns

Compare issued badge counts against your expected targets. You can spot anomalies in how credentials are being distributed.

HUMAN

Review suspicious activity

If the AI finds an issuer that shouldn't be there, you'll need to step in and revoke permissions or investigate the account manually.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Credly API to fetch and organize your badge data.

  1. Fetch badge data

    The AI pulls the current list of all badges issued within your program.

    list_issued_badges

  2. Identify issuers

    The AI retrieves the list of accounts authorized to issue credentials.

    list_authorized_issuers

  3. Analyze counts

    The AI compares the number of badges issued against specific criteria you set in chat.

    list_issued_badges

  4. Cross-reference permissions

    The AI checks if the badges were issued by the correct entities by comparing the two data sets.
