Hi hobbs6487,
When your component is in the context of a message, you can use the env FreeMarker custom context object to obtain the user id of the message author:
env.context.message.author.id
Once you have the user's id, it's just a matter of sticking that in the appropriate REST API call to get the kudos count for that user, for example:
<#assign kudosCount = rest("/users/id/${env.context.message.author.id?c}/kudos/received/count").value!"0" />Once you've assigned the value to a variable, you can manipulate it as needed, or just output it for display:
Kudos: ${kudosCount}
