cPanel API 2 Functions - DiskUsage::fetchdiskusage

Description

This function retrieves the account's disk usage data. 

 

Examples


 WHM API (JSON)

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess##########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=DiskUsage&cpanel_jsonapi_func=fetchdiskusage

 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// Report the raw disk usage
$report_diskusage $cpanel->api2(
    'DiskUsage''fetchdiskusage'
);

 LiveAPI Perl Module

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
# Report the raw disk usage
my $report_diskusage $cpliveapi->api2(
    'DiskUsage''fetchdiskusage',
);

 cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs.

cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary widely in code syntax and in their output. For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.

 

 Command Line

cpapi2 --user=username DiskUsage fetchdiskusage

 

Notes:

  • You must URI-encode values.
  • username represents your account-level username.
