universal-badge-api

##An ideal Universal Open Education Badges API:

• is centralized
• is open source
• is cloud-based
• is limited to education badges
• allows any learning platform that uses open education badges to permit its users to easily pull in badges (single entity across decentralized systems)
• allows learners to easily embed their badges on various platform (LinkedIn, for example)

##Eventually this API should (Post MVP):

• allow for badge creation
• allow for a degree of quality control (crowd sourcing?)
• only accept badges that have endorsements (talk to Badge Alliance about this)
