We've just launched a very basic API for Badgy.  It lets you tell us when you want to give someone a badge that you've created.

So you might ask why a simple service like Badgy would create an API so early in the life of our company?  It's because we believe badges, achievements, are a powerful motivator and reward.  Right now, we make it dead simple for you to give a badge to Twitter users who mention your hashtag, but we know there are countless other reasons you might want to give someone a badge.  We want to make all of those reasons dead simple, but until we can do that, we want to make it pretty darn simple for you to give someone a badge for any reason you can imagine.  So you can do that with our API.

We love feedback, so let us know if you have any questions about the API or any suggestions at support@bad.gy.
