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.
