Embed your treehouse profile on your site?

Is there any workaround or talk about being able to embed your treehouse profile on your personal website? I think it would be nice to showcase your achievements.

1 Answer

Sure, Treehouse uses an API, and you can use that information to display your profile details on your own website. If you make a call to https://teamtreehouse.com/nickruiz.json you can parse it with whatever website you want.

The node js courses go over using the treehouse api

I was gonna suggest making a simpler 'copy and paste' code widget situation but using the API forces the developer to learn how to use APIs which is another thing they'd want on their portfolio. I'm pretty well versed in API usage so a 'copy and paste' thing would be nice for those that would like a pre-styled treehouse overview in their profile ASAP as opposed to having to build it manually.
