Some background
I am connecting external application (server) with Moodle through Web Services API.
- First a user obtains web services token through a call to
/login/token.php
. - Above token can be used to call web services functions through
/webservice/rest/server.php
endpoint.
The problem
In some cases I need to provide userid
, which I don't know, because /login/token.php
does not return it.
Things I've tried
I searched through the Web Services api documentation and found core_session_time_remaining
function. Documentation says it returns userid
and timeremaining
properties:
object {
userid int //The current user id.
timeremaining int //The number of seconds remaining in this session.
}
The problem is, returned userid
is always 0
, irrelevant of what token
was used to call this function. Is it a bug in Moodle, or am I using it wrong? How can I get userid
?
