Error detection in API 1

[k_shehadeh]

I'm probably missing something, but is there a way to determine that there has been an error on an API1 call by looking at the returned XML? Unlike API2 which seems to reserve the result tag for this, API1 seems to use the result tag the same way in cases of success or failure.

Thanks,

There's no flag set like <error>1</error> with API1 calls. However, if there is a failure, the result tag will typically indicate what the cause of the failure is. In some cases such as creating an email account on a cPanel account that is not allowed to have email accounts, the result tag may be blank (e.g. <result />).
