Authentication using the CommonSense API can be done in multiple ways. In the library we provide a function for getting a session id from the API.
####GetSessionId (p_credentials)
Logs onto CommonSense to receive a session id.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
p_credentials |
a table containing "username" and "password" key/value pairs |
Returns
The session id or the response status code in case of failure.
Example
local credentials = {};
credentials.username <- "user";
credentials.password <- "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99";
local session_id = GetSessionId(credentials);
server.log("got session id " + session_id);
