Get or create Session URL

[emerrill999]

I write an open source tool for managing webex meetings inside an LMS.

Recently we have noticed that the URLs we generate for external participants (basically the Session URL) is generating a 503 Service Unavailable error.

What we have been doing is using GetTrainingSession, and use the eventID, placing it into this url:

https://SITE.webex.com/SITE/k2/j.php?ED=EVENTID&UID=1

But those URLs now give the above error.

If I join the meeting and get the Session URL from inside the client, it looks like this:

https://SITE.webex.com/SITE/k2/e.php?MTID=SOMEIDIDONTKNOW

I can't seem to find the value that is present in MTID in the XML responses, and I can't find any documentation about the e.php?MTID= link.

Should our old URLs (j.php?ED=) be working and there is just some problem with our Webex site? If not, how do I get the Session URL (or MTID so I can build it)?

For anybody else who may get sucked down this rabbit hole, you need to use getSessionInfo, which has a meetingLink element returned that as the URL. I got confused because we mostly use Training Center, and we had been using getTrainingSession to get training session info, but oddly that doesn't contain the meetingLink element. But you can use getSessionInfo on a training session meeting to get the value.
