 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel = new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

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 ourDeprecated 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 WebDisk passwdwebdisk enabledigest=1 login=user%40example.com password=12345luggage

Notes:

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