I have tried adding a new user to Moodle using their api webservice
I have already modified the parameters passed through post several times, tried using an array instead of an object, tested some changes in the array structure that is passed, but I always get the same response from moodle:
"Missing required key in single structure: users"
The answer:
{
"exception":"invalid_parameter_exception",
"errorcode":"invalidparameter",
"message":"Valor inv\u00e1lido de par\u00e2metro detectado",
"debuginfo":"Missing required key in single structure: users"
}
My code:
$functionname = 'core_user_create_users';
$user1 = new stdClass();
$user1->id = 1; //
$user1->username = 'testusername1';
$user1->password = 'testpassword1';
$user1->firstname = 'testfirstname1';
$user1->lastname = 'testlastname1';
$user1->email = '[email protected]';
$user1->auth = 'manual';
$user1->idnumber = 'testidnumber1';
$user1->description = 'Hello World!';
$user1->city = 'testcity1';
$user1->country = 'BR';
$token = 'mytoken';
$domainname = 'localhost/moodle';
$functionname = 'core_user_create_users';
$restformat = 'json';
$serverurl = $domainname . '/webservice/rest/server.php'. '?wstoken=' . $token . '&wsfunction='.$functionname.'&moodlewsrestformat=' . $restformat;
$users = array($user1);
$params = array('users' => $users);
$context = stream_context_create(array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => 'Content-Type: text/plain',
'content' => $params
)
));
$contents = file_get_contents($serverurl, null, $context);
//print_r($contents);
$resposta = json_decode($contents);
As I checked, all required fields are filled out.
I am using a valid token, and the user has the permission required to use the core_user_create_users
function.
I used the following code as base
UPDATE
Common errors when attempting to create a user via webservice are
-
Try to enter mandatory field with empty value
-
Try to register a password that does not meet the password policy defined in the moodle configuration
-
Forget to encapsulate the object (s) with user information in an array and switch to 'users'
$users = array($user1, $user2); $params = array('users' => $users);
