cPanel API 2 Functions - Email::get_archiving_configuration

Description

This function retrieves the cPanel account's archiving configurations.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

 

Examples 


 WHM API (JSON)

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

 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// Get archiving configs for example.com that contain "addon"
$list_archiving_configuration $cpanel->api2(
    'Email''get_archiving_configuration'
    array(
        'domain'       => 'example.com',
        'regex'        => 'addon',
    
);

 LiveAPI Perl Module

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
# Get archiving configs for example.com that contain "addon"
my $list_archiving_configuration $cpliveapi->api2(
    'Email''get_archiving_configuration',
    {
        'domain'       => 'example.com',
        'regex'        => 'addon',
    }
);

 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 Email get_archiving_configuration domain=example.com regex=addon

 

Notes:

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