When you reach certain milestones you are given a badge to mark your achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard badges typically have three levels, bronze, silver, and gold. These badges are displayed in your player profile and can be used to judge your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to tracking progress in various statistics, badges are also used to track participation at certain Pokemon Go Special Weekends and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These badges are called &#8220;event badges&#8221; and given for participation in the event. This typically requires purchasing a ticket and physically going to the event location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting the Badge data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This API returns the currently available badges in the game and details what is needed to achieve them for non-event badges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GET <code>\/api\/v1\/badges.json<\/code><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Returns a JSON array of objects.
