    Hi Kev, I looked at this one for quite a while. This looks like an API browser issue, as the following API calls return the right data, even without credentials:

     

    • /api/2.0/search?q=SELECT+user_badges+FROM+users+WHERE+id+%3D%27238%27
    • /api/2.0/users/238

    You may also notice the API browser is showing the collection with type: "user" instead of type: "user_badge".

    Could you try putting the query in a simple component? Does the component get the right data when viewed by the user ("Lemmings")? How about other users?

    By design, we allow a user to learn about badges they haven't earned yet, but only when viewing their own badges. To make that work, the backend has different approaches for getting the data, depending on who is making the query & where. It's possible there could be an issue in just one of those approaches.

Thanks AndrewF 

I'll test in a component over the next few days when I have a little more time, but checking your URL search query returned results for the user so the data is clearly there.

Thanks for the help ðŸ˜ƒ
