How to get the main domain through the cPanel API

Hello ...

I did not figure out how to get the main domain of the cPanel user through the API. Is this possible?

Thank you

Yes, here is the API1 call:

<cpanel print="$CPDATA{'DNS'}">

Thank you.

And what's the URL to access the API1? And what method do I need to use to pass the command string? POST or GET?

We have a PHP class you can use to interact with API1 via the XML API: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=111897

Otherwise, you can read the documentation on how to do this yourself at http://www.cPanel.net/plugins/xmlapi

I have previously looked at the documentation and the PHP class but there was nothing specific about the API1 print function. Hence my request. In the meanwhile with a bit of trial and error I figured it out:

API1:
<cpanel print="$CPDATA{'DNS'}">
translates to:
http://host:2082/xml-api/cpanel?xmlin=<cpanelaction><module>print</module><func>$CPDATA{'DNS'}</func><apiversion>1</apiversion></cpanelaction>

API1
<cpanel print="DOMAIN">
translates to:
http://host:2082/xml-api/cpanel?xmlin=<cpanelaction><module>print</module><func>DOMAIN</func><apiversion>1</apiversion></cpanelaction>
