XF 2.0 How can I get username of logged user on PHP?

[TufanM]

I'm trying to build an external shop for my website, i need to get logged user's username on my PHP application but i have no idea how.

How can i access to user data from PHP?

require ('/src/XF.php');

XF::start($dir);
$app = XF::setupApp('XF\Pub\App');
$session = $app->session();

That should be able to get the XenForo Session.

To access the visitor data, you can get that by

$visitor = \XF::visitor();

$visitor = \XF::visitor();

I am using the code below, it works. Is this the right implementation? Can someone fake their user ids by editing cookies etc.?

require('src/XF.php');
\XF::start('/hc');
$app = \XF::setupApp('XF\Pub\App');
$s = $app->session();
$uid = $s->get('userId');
if ($uid){
    $finder = \XF::finder('XF:User');
    $user = $finder->where('user_id', $uid)->fetchOne();
    print_r($user);
}else{
    echo 'guest';
}

These are sessions, not cookies. Sessions are hashed and set from the server. No one would be able to change it, unless they change the entire hash.

Is there an api documentation for these methods? I couldn't find anything on google.

For XenForo methods, we have Developer documentation. http://xenforo.com/dev-docs

I found that already, it doesn't seem to have all methods.

Heres the updated link: https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/dev/

There isn't a list of all the methods that you can use although you can simply import the XF code in an IDE and see all the methods that you can use come up as auto-suggestion.
