To enable Moodle as an API (here it calls Web-Services) and create endpoint to make external HTTP-requests you need to follow these steps:

  1. Enable Web-Services support /admin/settings.php?section=optionalsubsystems#admin-enablewebservices
  2. Enable REST protocol /admin/settings.php?section=webserviceprotocols
  3. Create your Web-Service /admin/webservice/service.php?id=0
  4. Create token for your WS /admin/webservice/tokens.php?action=create
  5. At Services list /admin/settings.php?section=externalservices add an external function to your WS (click Functions next to your WS). Here you can add core external functions, also it is possible to create an own ones with your plugin.
  6. Read docs how to create endpoint with token, function and protocol and pass needle params to it.

Plugin for Moodle Web-Services

Moodle API/Web-Service is a big issue with a lot of things, to control and easy manage it from one place there is a local plugin WSManager.
