    This point will be quite hard to handle i think 

     

    The only way is to have switch case by badges & roles to make badges visible (assuming all badges a hidden by default).

    It sounds to be a very hardcoded way because there are no role-related permissions about seeing badges and badges cannot be categorized (which might be a feature request to be done).

     

    As fas as i'm concerned, the best approch would be challenging the functional need :-)

partial response about point 1

If you use API v2, with a select * from users where id="x", there is a field "user_badges" which contains only visible badges.
there is an "earned_date" field which is not null only if the badge has been earned.
So this point is "quite" easy to handle.

for the second point, i'm not sure there is an api call available sine this functionality is quite recent
