cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warnings:
  • cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
  • cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary in code syntax and in their output.
  • For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation.

syntaxhighlighter-pre
cpapi2 --user=username LeechProtect setup dir=%2Fhome%2Fexample%2Fpublic_html%2Fnewdir item=url type=html
Notes:

  • You must URI-encode values.

  • username represents your account-level username.

  • For more information and additional output options, read our Guide to UAPI documentation or run the uapi --help command.
