cPanel API 2 - Paginate Output

Warning:

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


Introduction

You can use special variables to display cPanel API 2 output data in multiple pages (pagination). When you use pagination, the function's output's metadata includes the following hash of pagination control information:

paginate":{
"total_pages":1,
"total_results":1,
"current_page":1,
"results_per_page":100,
"start_result":"1"
}
Note:

You can test cPanel API 2 functions with pagination in cPanel's API Shell interface (Home >> Advanced >> API Shell). Click Show paginate/Filter/Paginate Options to display pagination options.


Pagination variables

cPanel API 2 pagination uses four basic variables:

Variable Type Description Possible values
api2_paginate Boolean Whether to enable pagination.
  • 1 — Enable pagination.
  • 0 — Disable pagination.
api2_paginate_start integer The first record to display. An integer value that represents a number of records. For example, begin the page's list of records with the fifth record, pass in an api2_paginate_start value of 5.
api2_paginate_size integer The number of records to display. An integer value that represents a number of records. For example, to display ten records on the page, pass in an api2_paginate_size value of 10.
api2_paginate_page integer The page of results to display. An integer value that represents which page of results to display. For example, to display the second page of records, pass in an api2_paginate_page value of 2.

Examples

The following examples display paginated results for the Email::listpopswithdisk function.

  • The example for the first page of results begins at the fifth record, and lists through the fourteenth record, to display a total of 10 records.
  • The example for the second page of results begins at the fifteenth record, and lists through the twenty-fourth record, to display a total of 10 records.

Warning:
  • 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.
