Authentication to 3rd party plugins through scripting

[Syneic]

I've made a plugin which we need access to through an external system, today we use php for this and send an request containing access hash to authenticate.
After version 64 this type of authentication is deprecated, so I tried to use the new api token system instead but i get the following error:

X-Error-Message: Token authentication is restricted to WHMAPI calls only

Is there a way to use token for running 3rd party plugin scripts, or do I need to go back to good old fashion http-header authentication with password ?

Having a way to run this without using authentication that gives access to whole system would be nice, so if I can put a symlink to my script within available directory for whmapi, that would be an acceptable compromise for me.

Thanks.

Hello,

API tokens are only usable with the following features at this time:

WHM API functions
DNS Clusters
Configuration Clusters

It's likely your plugin is using cPanel API 2 or UAPI functions, leading to the error message you noticed. The following document lists the additional API authentication options available to you:

Guide to API Authentication - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Today i call scripts with https://fqdn:2087/cgi/pluginname/pluginscript.cgi?run=scriptname not using any existing api calls.

Is there any additional features on current roadmap to api tokens which may replace the current feature of access hash ?

Hi,

We are working at adding custom end points, like your pluginscript.cgi example, to API Tokens. The work might make it into version 68.

Cool, thanks.
