cPanel API 2 Functions - NVData::setall

Warning:

The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2.

Description

This function creates a non-volatile datastore.

The system creates the datastore in the /home/user/.cpanel/nvdata directory, where user represents the account name.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

    'NVData', 'setall',
    array(

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

# Set "mymind" NVDatastore to "you"
my $cloud_nine = $cpliveapi->api2(
    'NVData', 'setall',
    {
        'mymind' => 'you',
    }
);
Note:

For more information, read our Guide to the LiveAPI System.

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.

Command Line

syntaxhighlighter-pre
cpapi2 --user=username NVData setall names=mymind
Notes:
  • You must URI-encode values.
  • username represents your account-level username.
  • You must include the --user=username option.
  • For more information and additional output options, read our Guide to cPanel API 2 documentation or run the cpapi2 --help command.
  • If you run CloudLinux™, you must use the full path of the cpapi2 command:
    syntaxhighlighter-pre
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpapi2
