Get host information UAPI

[Alex Nix]

I use this class for connect to my cPanel and it worked 2 days ago
https://github.com/N1ghteyes/cpanel-UAPI-php-class/blob/master/cpaneluapi.class.php

But now it doesn't work Who can tell why it does not work?
I can't get any results at the moment

$cPanel = new cpanelAPI($this->cPusername, $this->cPpassword,
$this->cPhost);
$res = $cPanel->uapi->Mysql->locate_server();

$res - is empty now
Maybe because we can't use it now? https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/DD/Guide+to+cPanel+API+2

Hey there! I'm not good with PHP, so I can't comment on the code itself, but those older API calls have been deprecated for some time. Can you try manually running the API calls to see if you get the same error?

What I need to use for connecting to cPanel with email and password from your documentation?

Return MySQL server host information

This function returns information about the account's MySQL® host. **Important:** When you disable the [MySQL/MariaDB role](https://go.cpanel.net/serverroles#roles) **and** remote MySQL is **not** already configured, the system **disables** this function.

@cPRex
I see the current account authentication here
https://api.docs.cpanel.net/openapi/cpanel/operation/configured_modules/

But how can I authenticate another account with username and password?

I think you are doing the authentication incorrectly.

The new/current way for connecting to the API is to use cPanel API tokens. For cPanel user accounts you want Security->Manage API Tokens: and for WHM/root level you want Development->Manage API tokens. If you want to prompt for the username and password, you can then call Create cPanel API Token with the Basic authentication headers.

You then make calls using the user's username and the API Token as the password - see Using an API Token ion an "Authorization: cpanel " header.

rbairwell Do you have some messanger or somethink else?

It doesn't work...((

require_once "/usr/local/cpanel/php/cpanel.php";

$cPusername = $details['service']['username'];
$cPpassword = $details['service']['password'];
$cPhost = $details['server']['host'];
$cPdomain = $details['service']['domain'];
$categoryId = $details['product']['category_id'];

// Print the header
header('Content-Type: text/plain');

// Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
$cpanel = new CPANEL();

// Call the API
$response = $cpanel->uapi(
'Tokens',
'create_full_access',
array (
'name' => $cPusername,
)
);

$data = "<pre>".print_r($cpanel, true)."</pre>";
file_put_contents('cPanel_filename.txt', $data);

Hi,

That code example is a mangled version of the "LiveAPI PHP" code from the Create Full Access page : if you read the instructions in the comments at the top of that example, it'll tell you how to use that example version.

I advise for now just creating the token via cPanel/WHM manually and then:
* If you are running this page within cPanel, follow the "LiveAPI PHP" examples on the page (see also "Guide to the LiveAPI System - PHP Class")
* If you are running this page outside of cPanel, you'll need to make calls using something like curl (see "Using An API Token")

If you are using curl and want to get the MySQL server information, then the URL needed (according to that page https://hostname.example.com:2083/cpsess##########/execute/Mysql/get_server_information (which is a cPanel session based URL) and if we change that to a UAPI API call with the username username and the API Token U7HMR63FHY282DQZ4H5BIH16JLYSO01M for host example.com , you'll get the command line request:

curl -H'Authorization: cpanel username:U7HMR63FHY282DQZ4H5BIH16JLYSO01M' 'https://example.com:2083/execute/Mysql/get_server_information'

You might find the PHP example in Guide to API Authentication - API Tokens in WHM a bit of a help.

I am available on a consultancy basis, but it would be chargeable work at 75GBP/ph. Posting on this forum is my way of "giving back to the community" for helping me many many years ago (and still to this do on odd bits an pieces) - one to one work (especially in private) is different. I hope you understand.

rbairwell ok but how can I upload my file using you API now (php)?

Tutorial - Use UAPI's Fileman::upload_files Function in Custom Code

With its world-class support and rich feature set, cPanel & WHM has been the industry-leading web hosting platform for over 20 years. Trusted worldwide by our technology partners WordPress, CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, and more.

api.docs.cpanel.net

My code is:
// Define the API call.

$file = 'my_file.php';
$cpanel_host = $this->cPdomain;
$request_uri = "http://$cpanel_host:2083/execute/Fileman/upload_files";

$destination_dir = "public_html";
$payload = array(
'dir' => $destination_dir,
'file-1' => $file
);

// Set up the curl request object.
$ch = curl_init( $request_uri );

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->cPusername . ':' . $this->cPpassword );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false );

// Set up a POST request with the payload.
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );

// Make the call, and then terminate the curl caller object.
$curl_response = curl_exec( $ch );
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
$error_msg = curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close( $ch );

But it doesn't work as well...((

 

[rbairwell]

In that tutorial, instead of using the username and password and the
CURLOPT_USERPWD lines as detailed in that, use the token and the header setting as per Guide to API Authentication - API Tokens in WHM - using port 2083 and "Authorization: cpanel" instead of port 2087 and "Authorization: whm"

But it doesn't work as well...((

In what way? And are you trying to run the script on the server itself or "remotely"?

From my local machine it's working but from host a can't get informatin from API
