In order to find the API calls for cron, you'll need to look in /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/cron.

In that directory, we can find cron_entries.html which calls the tag to list cron tasks:

<?cptt Cron::listcron(cron/cron_entries.tmpl) omit_extra_record=true ?>

This means that an API1/API2 call is in use. Here's the call in question:

Cron Module Documentation

You can't ask for a specific cron entry so you'll have to get a list of all the cron entries and then loop through and find just the one you want and display it.

To add a cron task, use the add_line API call:

Cron Module Documentation

You can use the cPanel PHP API class:

Here's an example of making an API2 call:

https://github.com/CpanelInc/xmlapi-php/blob/master/Examples/api2_example_withargs.php

So, in order to add the cron task, use Cron::add_line() and then use Cron::list_cron() to get all cron entries. Then loop through and find the line that was previously added and use Cron::edit_line() to edit it:
