ExecuteCloudScriptServerRequest and Player ID

I need to call a cloudscript function from server API, but when I do not pass a player ID as a parameter, I receive a BadRequest error. The problem is, as a server, I'm not necessarily running a cloudscript function on behalf of a player.

There are some stuff that I need to do with my server cloudscript calls (I've implemented some simple checks to prevent normal clients from calling these methods) which are not linked to a specific player.

As a workaround I can just supply a random player ID since I'm not using it, but this doesn't "feel" correct.

Is there any way to just call a cloudscript function with whatever arguments I want? I couldn't see any similar api request in admin api.

Try out ExecuteEntityCloudScript. With that, you do not need to pass in a specific entity key. Include a title auth token (obtained from GetEntityToken) in the headers and the cloud script will run in the context of the title entity instead of a specific player.

Thanks Andy. I think this is not directly included in Unity SDK yet, but I can just use it as a regular web API call.

You're free to do it from a web call, but it's absolutely in the latest Unity SDK (and has been since about September, I believe): https://github.com/PlayFab/UnitySDK/blob/master/Source/PlayFabSDK/CloudScript/PlayFabCloudScriptAPI.cs#L32

You might need to enable the Entity API in the editor extension before you can use it, though.
