In this video you are going to learn How Web Services Infrastructure Works in Moodle.
Web services enable other systems to login to Moodle Sites and perform certain operations.

To run the web service and make it works, you can visit the end point from the browser or via curl.
For example to call a function via REST protocol, we can use below endpoints:

1) Generating a Token for Web Service
http://yoursite/login/token.php?username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&service=SERVICESHORTNAME

URL : http://yoursite/login/token.php
username : xyz
password : abc
service : service123

2) Making an API Call
http://yoursite/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=7c335a5bd39a46cb2db589735d97774e&wsfunction=local_custom_service_update_courses_sections&moodlewsrestformat=json&courseids=14

URL : http://yoursite/webservice/rest/server.php
wstoken : 04e3a50c7c60b0ffdb175c45bdecd850
wsfunction : local_custom_service_update_courses_sections
moodlewsrestformat : json
PARAM1 : 123
PARAM2 : 557
PARAM3 : 777
