    Examples

    ClosedAuthenticate User (JavaScript):

    This example demonstrates how to authenticate a user from JavaScript.

    // URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 3.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api3/";

// step 1: authenticate user account and get token
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below.
let token = callApi("authentication/authenticateUser",{
	"userName":"aUser",
	"password":"abc123!"
},"",false);
log("got token "+token);

// step 2: get the current user's ID
let currentUser= callApi("access/getMe",
	{},token
);

// step3: get the user's ID from the response
let userId = currentUser[0];




// ##### optional generic login method for debugging ##############
function log(msg){
	document.write(msg);
	console.log(msg);
}

// ##### generic REST API calling method ##############
function callApi(path,data,token="",parseResult=true){
	var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
	xhttp.open("POST", pyramidURL+path, false);
	xhttp.setRequestHeader("paToken",token)
	xhttp.send(JSON.stringify(data));
	if(parseResult){
		return JSON.parse(xhttp.responseText);
	}else{
		return xhttp.responseText;
	}
}
