1. You could you use User Flair for this:

2. Here’s a testing code I already had for consuming Stack Exchange API:

   <?php
   /**
    * Plugin Name: Print SE-API Results as Admin Notice
    */
   
   add_action( 'admin_notices', 'b5f_consume_se_api' );
   
   function b5f_consume_se_api() 
   {
       $user = '1417894';
       $page_size = '&pagesize=3';
       $order = '&order=desc';
       $sort = '&sort=votes';
   
       $so = wp_remote_get( 
           'http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users/'
           . $user
           . '/answers?site=stackexchange'
           . $page_size . $order . $sort ,     
           array(
               'timeout'     => 120, 
               'httpversion' => '1.1' 
           ) 
       );
   
       if ( $so['response']['code'] == '200' )
       {
           $so_array = json_decode( $so['body'], true );
           var_dump( $so_array['items'] );
       }
   }
   

   This is the URL being consulted and its JSON result. It returns the last 3 answers from the OP, sorted by votes (descending).

   Check the docs and adapt everything to suit your needs.

3. Add a text widget your sidebar and paste your flair HTML code in it.
