WHM account creation using the cpanel api

[manigandan]

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error while trying to create an account using the cpanel api which is https://example.com:2087/xml-api/cre...s=0&reseller=0.

and the error is: Array ( [result] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [status] => 0 [statusmsg] => Sorry, that's an invalid domain [rawout] => [options] => ) ) )

i have given all the parameters correctly.
Do i need to change any setting in the cpanel to allow api account creation.

Hi manigandan,

The domain in your example looks fine. However, the example does look like there might be other issues. Below I've broken the URL into pieces; the "contact email" key needs to be one word (ie, 'contactemail') and the email address will need to not have a space either.

https://example.com:2087/xml-api/createacct?
username=myuser&
plan=basic%20&
ip=n&
cpmod=x3&
password=h@rd2gu3ss!p@ss&
contact%20email=username%20@domain.tld&      <-- "contactemail=username@domain.tld"
domain=domain.tld&
useregns=0&
reseller=0

Other than that, nothing stands out that could be causing this.

Ensure that all you parameters are correct. If one parameter is off, it could throw the rest off too.

Hi DavidN,

Thanks for your reply. I have corrected that issue and checked all the parameters that i'm using with the api. All parameters are correct only. Is there any thing that i need to change in the cpanel to allow the api to create an account?

Nope. As long as you are authenticated as root or a reseller (with the proper permissions respective of the action you are performing) then you can utilized the XML-API to its full capacity, just like WHM.

Are you still getting the same error message?
