Installation

composer require jagdish-j-p/cpanel-api

Usage

Basic Authentication using cpanel username and password

use JagdishJP\CPanelAPI\CPanelAPI;
use JagdishJP\CPanelAPI\AuthType;

$cPanel = new cpanelAPI('cpanel_username', 'cpanel_password', 'cpanel.example.com');

Authentication using cpanel username and API Token. You can create token from Security -> Manage API Tokens. Visit Manage API Token

use JagdishJP\CPanelAPI\CPanelAPI;
use JagdishJP\CPanelAPI\AuthType;

$cPanel = new cpanelAPI('cpanel_username', 'cpanel_api_token', 'cpanel.example.com', AuthType::TOKEN);

The API we want to use and the Module (also called Scope) are now protected and are set by __get().

The request layout looks like this: $cPanel->api->method->Module->request(args[])

The ->method part should be replaced with ->get for GET requests and ->post for POST requests, or omitted to default to GET requests.

As an example, suppose we want to use the UAPI to call the Mysql::get_server_information function:

$response = $cPanel->uapi->Mysql->get_server_information();
var_dump($response);

Now that we have set both the API and the Module, we can call other functions within this API and Module without specifying them again:

$response = $cPanel->create_database(['name' => $cPanel->user.'_MyDatabase']);
var_dump($response);

We can also change the Module scope without respecifying the API. Note that the Module call is case-sensitive.

$response = $cPanel->SSL->list_certs();

File upload example

$cPanel = new cpanelAPI($username, $password, $hostname);
$cPanel->uapi->post->Fileman
       ->upload_files(['dir' => REMOTE_PATH_RELATIVE_TO_HOME,
                       'file-1' => new CURLFile(LOCAL_PATH_TO_FILE)
                       ]);

API2

API2 is used in exactly the same way as the UAPI

$cPanel = new cpanelAPI('user', 'password', 'cpanel.example.com');

For example, suppose we want to use the API2 to add a subdomain:

$response = $cPanel->api2->SubDomain->addsubdomain(['rootdomain' => 'domain.com', 'domain' => 'sub']);
var_dump($response);

Two-Factor Authentication

To use this class on a cPanel instance with two-factor authentication (2FA), you need to pass the secret into the class constructor:

$cPanel = new cpanelAPI('user', 'password', 'cpanel.example.com', AuthType::BASIC, 'secret');

The secret can be found on the 2FA setup page. See Two-Factor Authentication for cPanel – Configure two-factor authentication for details.
