Hi everyone,
Is there a way to specify a different user when calling the php api? For example, I’d like to query the api for a list of modules, but when no user is logged in I get a PermissionDeniedException error. My thought was I could use the API credentials of a different user but I’m unable to get that work. Thanks for any help!
You can authenticate your requests using the key_identity and key_credential parameters. For example:
http://example.com/api/items/123?key_identity=uXPUEnETEA84Q0ifxy1LEf8qE6tfku21&key_credential=EHi8R2bCWTkTFcTWGmBRhLqffZL6AnXc
See our docs for more information: https://omeka.org/s/docs/developer/api/rest_api/#authentication
Thanks for the feedback! I saw that for the rest API but I didn’t see that anywhere for the PHP API. Do you know if there’s a difference?
Where and how are you attempting to access the PHP API? Using the API manager within the application should circumvent authentication.
In a theme I’m working on, in one of the view files. I was trying to search the API to see if a module was activated and change something in the view depending on the result.
Ah, I see. It’s tricky. There’s no easy way to get a list of modules on the public site for a non-authenticated user. Views just don’t have access to the ways you could make this work.
Outside the view (say, in a view event or a Controller) you have several options. I recommend that you use the Omeka\ModuleManager service for direct access to the modules:
$modules = $serviceLocator->get('Omeka\ModuleManager')->getModules()
If you must use the API, you could masquerade as a user or modify the access control, but those options are far more complicated and come with some risk.
I understand. Thanks for your help with this!
