Working with session via web service...

Hi,

I have plugin, that used to push data from our main system to MOODLE... It is a web service exposing an API to add courses, users and exams...

Every API call have to have user credentials, that maps to a MOODLE user with proper right (to enable all the activities)...

In most cases API called as a result of a single change in the main database, but there is a case when synchronization occurs in batch...

In this case it would be helpful to do only a single authentication at the beginning and then run with for all the API calls...

There is a way to do so?


Regards,

Peter

How are you doing the authentication? There is an option to authenticate web services calls with a token? Have you tried that?

Hi Tim,

I'm using a SOAP based web service that I wrote, and not part of the web service platform of MOODLE... It just didn't fit my needs...

for now I authenticate the user on a call basis, but that's won't be good for batch...

Can you point me toward the proper API for the web services, I may find there something...
