Calling the cPanel API 2 as end-user

[cascer1]

Hello,

I'm working on a little application to help customers manage their accounts from their phone (based on an app that was offered me for $1000/year..).

I figured it would be safest to not have the root login in the source code (I know it's compiled and all, but people always figure out how to decompile something) and so I wanted to call the API as a regular user.

Unfortunately, I always get the following error when trying to perform any call as user:
<error>Execution of <function> is not permitted inside of webmail (api2)</error>

How would I go about calling the API as a regular cPanel user?

Thank you,
Cas

Hello

This document should help:

Guide to API Authentication

Also, make sure you are connecting to the cPanel port (2082, 2083) and not a webmail port (2095,2096).

Thank you.

Hello Michael,

I was indeed able to resolve the issue. I was 100% sure that I used 2083 as port but it turns out I did enter 2096.
Everything's working fine now

Thank you.
