cPanel API 2 Functions - Email::filterlist

Description

This function lists mail filters. 

Warning:

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

Note:

We deprecated this function in cPanel & WHM version 11.

 

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=filterlist&account=user@example.com

 LiveAPI PHP Class


$cpanel
 new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// List filters for user@example.com.
$filter_list $cpanel->api2(
    'Email''filterlist'
    array(
        'account'      => 'user@example.com',
    
);

 LiveAPI Perl Module
 
my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
# List filters for user@example.com.
my $filter_list $cpliveapi->api2(
    'Email''filterlist',
    {
        'account'      => 'user@example.com',
    }
);

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 filterlist account=user%40example.com

 

Notes:

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