Examples 


 WHM API (JSON)

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess###########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=NVData&cpanel_jsonapi_func=set&mymind=you

 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// Set "mymind" NVDatastore to "you"
$cloud_nine $cpanel->api2(
    'NVData''set'
    array(
        'mymind' => 'you',
    
);

 LiveAPI Perl Module

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
# Set "mymind" NVDatastore to "you"
my $cloud_nine $cpliveapi->api2(
    'NVData''set',
    {
        'mymind' => 'you',
    }
);

 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.

 

 Output (JSON)

{
  "cpanelresult": {
    "apiversion": 2,
    "func": "set",
    "data": [
       
    ],
    "event": {
      "result": 1
    },
    "module": "NVData"
  }
}

 

Note:

Use cPanel's API Shell interface (Home >> Advanced >> API Shell) to directly test cPanel API calls.
