Something quick than whmapi1 modifyacct to update contact email

[manoaratefy]

Good morning,

I'm looking something better than WHMAPI1 in the CLI to update an user's contact email. Currently, with the command "whmapi1 modifyacct user=XXXXXX contactemail=[email protected]", it takes more than 60s to update an account. Manually updating the contact email within the WHM web interface would be faster.

Is there some hacks to update user contact email faster using CLI? Thanks in advance.

After some more research, I've found this article: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...hange-the-contact-email-for-a-cPanel-account-

It suggest using cpapi2 which currently perform a lot better. but as far as I know, cpapi2 is deprecated. Checked uapi documentation but didn't found any similar function within uapi. Is there any similar function on uapi?

Currently I made my CLI script as using cpapi2 if available, then fallback to whmapi1 if cpapi2 is not working.

Not all cpapi2 scripts have a UAPI counterpart just yet. It's something we're working towards, but haven't got there. If the call works fine and gives you the performance you need, it's alright to use it.
