Summary
In this appendix, you learned what web services are, how they are configured, and which web services to use in a Moodle Workplace environment
First, we provided an overview of Moodle's web service facility. We explained what web services are, how they work, and when to use them. We also gave a brief overview of how web services are configured in Moodle and Moodle Workplace.
Second, we described the differences between migrations and web services. Both mechanisms facilitate the exchange between external systems and Moodle Workplace; we explained the disparities between the two approaches in terms of supported elements, mode, synchronicity, handling, feedback, and access.
Finally, we listed all Moodle Workplace-specific web services to demonstrate that almost all the features covered in this book can also be controlled programmatically.
