Command pathing and 404 errors

Question

I'm working on the most basic Valence use just to prove it works -- using php to run a "whoami" query.

I authenticate fine, get the userId, userKey, and userSig back. I set these in the userContext object. The call to createAuthenticatedUri seems to work well -- all parameters are in the GET url I would expect to see.

I've also verified that the command path (/d2l/api/lp/1.0/users/whoami/) is valid, from another developer who is connecting to a a completely different server.

However, when I try to make the request, D2L tells me "404 Page not found".

I can make a call to /d2l/api/versions/ and that returns just fine.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Please note that your path /d2l/api/lp/1.0/users/whoami/ is not valid: the proper route for the whoami API call is /d2l/api/lp/{ver}/users/whoami without the trailing slash, and with the right version number filled in to target the API contract you want to target among those offered by the LMS -- in your case, that might be /d2l/api/lp/1.0/users/whoami, but it's also likely that you have more modern API contracts available on your LMS as well, which you can determine using the call to retrieve the LMS' version table.
