cPanel API 2 Functions - RoR::needsimport

Warning:

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

Description

Warning:

We deprecated the legacy Ruby codebase. For more information, read our cPanel Deprecation Plan documentation.
- To install Ruby and create Ruby web applications, follow the directions in our How to Create Ruby Web Applications documentation.
