Custome Certificate validation via API

Custome Certificate validation via API

by Gareth Harris -
Number of replies: 9
I know there is a way for people to verify a certificate via a link but I am looking to be able to do this automatically via an API.

For example, when a person uploads a certificate to an awarding body, their system does a check to confirm the key details of name, course, date and certifcate number.

Thanks Gareth

This would require writing a web service for the plugin. See https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Web_service_API_functions.

I'd contact a Moodle partner, like Catalyst IT (I used to work for them!). It will definitely require some dev work and I no longer work for Moodle HQ or Catalyst and also no longer do any Moodle development. I was a Moodle developer for 12 years and it was time to move onto something else. ;)

Thanks Mark.
Does this mean that you're no longer actively maintaining and/or developing the Custom Certificate (mod_customcert) plugin?

I maintain bugs and ensure it works as is but new features is a luxury. smile

The unique code is held in the column 'code' in the 'customcert_issues' table. Good luck!
