API Deprecation Question

[WHMBackupSolutions]

Hi,

I've got a question regarding the deprecation of API's.
I've developed a script which allows the automation of backups for resellers, it currently uses WHM API 1 to list accounts and cPanel API 1 to run the backup. I noticed pretty quickly when you released new functions within the UAPI to run the full account backup, knowing cPanel API 1 is long deprecated I chose to start researching/integrating it.

What I realised is that while cPanel API 1 is long deprecated, WHM API 1 isn't and there are no signs of any of the functions of WHM API 1 being moved into anything else e.g. UAPI.

Can I ask why and what is the reasoning behind it?

Hello @WHMBackupSolutions,

WHM API 1 is not deprecated. You can look at the image on the left side of the page on the following document to see which APIs are active and which ones are deprecated:

Developer Documentation Home - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Keep in mind we offer different APIs for use with WHM, cPanel, and Manage2. You can read more about this on the following document:

Quickstart Development Guide - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.
