What it does
The myCred points system normally lives inside WordPress, which becomes a limit once you have a mobile app, a separate web app or a custom project that should share the same rewards. This addon exposes myCred data through a REST API, so those outside platforms can read and change point balances, badges and ranks without duplicating the reward logic. Your WordPress site stays the single source of truth for every user's progress.
The plugin provides endpoints for awarding, revoking and retrieving points, assigning and removing badges, fetching badge details such as levels and requirements, and pulling ranks with their criteria. It can also return all registered references, which helps with tracking how points are earned. It works on single sites and multisite networks, and it lists BuddyPress as a requirement, so it fits community sites that already run myCred and BuddyPress.
Best for
- Developers building mobile or web apps on myCred rewards
- BuddyPress communities running myCred points, badges and ranks
- Multisite networks sharing one gamification system
Features
Points management endpoints
Award, revoke and retrieve user point balances through API calls, giving external apps direct control over the rewards stored in your myCred setup.
Badge assignment and removal
Assign badges to users, remove them, or fetch the badges a user holds, all through REST requests from your app or platform.
Detailed badge information
Retrieve available badges along with their levels and requirements, so your interface can show users what they need to do to earn each one.
Rank retrieval with criteria
Fetch ranks and the criteria behind them, making it possible to display a user's current status and progress inside your own application.
Registered references access
Pull the full list of registered references programmatically, which is useful for tracking and analyzing how gamification interactions happen on your site.
Works with many tech stacks
Connect myCred to projects built with Angular, React, Ruby or other technologies, since any platform that can make REST calls can use the endpoints.
Single site and multisite support
Run the addon on a single WordPress installation or across a multisite network to manage gamification for a growing group of sites.

Questions about myCred Rest API

Yes. The addon exposes myCred features through REST endpoints, so apps built with React, Angular, Ruby or other tech stacks can award, revoke and retrieve points, badges and ranks by making API requests to your WordPress site.
Does it handle badges and ranks, or only points?
It covers all three. You can award and revoke points, assign, remove and fetch badges with their levels and requirements, and retrieve ranks along with the criteria users must meet to reach them.

Yes. The plugin supports both single site installations and multisite networks, so you can manage gamification across several connected sites from external applications.
