UPDATE: This does not currently work, as DataCamp has changed the structure of profile pages. I will revise this as soon as is feasible. (7/26/17)
Just as I have written scripts for displaying report cards for Code School, CodeEval, and Duolingo on my blog, I have written the below script for displaying a DataCamp profile.
datacamp.php:
<style>
#datacamp {
border: 1px solid blue;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 100%;
}
#datacamp li {
list-style-type: none;
}
.image-centered {
display:block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.image-rounded {
border-radius: 50%;
}
.progress-bar {
position: relative;
border: 1px solid #33aacc;
width: 100%;
height: 18px;
margin-bottom: 1rem;
}
.progress-bar .inner {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #33aacc;
min-width: 5px;
}
.wrapper-scores .container {
min-width: 150px;
max-width: 260px;
width: 100%;
}
.course-block__completed, .course-block__certificate-download, .btn-linkedin-share,
.course-block__description, .course-block__author {
display: none;
}
.col-sm-4 img {
display: inline;
padding: 1px;
}
</style>

If you wish to display this in a WordPress widget, create a Text widget and add this code, replacing “NICKNAME” with a DataCamp username.
<div id="datacamp"></div>
<script>
(function($) {
$("#datacamp").load("/datacamp/datacamp.php?nick=NICKNAME");
})(jQuery);
</script>
Since my primary reason for writing these has been to populate widgets on this WordPress blog, at some point I’ll probably incorporate these into WP plugins.
