cPanel API 2 Functions - SSL::fetchcabundle

Description

This function retrieves a certificate's Certificate Authority (CA) bundle.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use the following UAPI function instead of this function:

  • SSL::get_cabundle — This function retrieves a certificate's CA bundle and hostname.

Note:

Due to the limited field length of HTTP GET method calls, you must use the HTTP POST method. For this reason, you cannot use the WHM API method to call this function.

Examples 


 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// Retrieve the account's CA bundles.
$install_ssl $cpanel->api2(
    'SSL''fetchcabundle',
    array(
        'key'             => '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

 cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use theLiveAPI 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 ourDeprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
