Guide to the LiveAPI System - LiveAPI Methods

The LiveAPI system uses the following methods to interact with cPanel & WHM. Use these methods with either the LiveAPI PHP Class or the LiveAPI Perl Module.

• For more information about methods in PHP classes, read php.net's Classes and Objects documentation .
• For more information about methods in Perl, read perl.org's perlobj documentation .

Methods

The LiveAPI system includes the following methods to interact with cPanel & WHM:

• api() — The api() method executes a cPanel API 1 or cPanel API 2 function.
• api1() — The api1() function executes a cPanel API 1 function. For use information and examples, read our Guide to cPanel API 1 documentation.
• api2() — The api2() function executes a cPanel API 2 function. For use information and examples, read our Guide to cPanel API 2 documentation.
• cpanelfeature() — The cpanelfeature() method is a wrapper for the feature tag, which checks whether the authenticated user has access to a feature.
• cpanelif() — The cpanelif() method is a wrapper for the cpanelif tag, which evaluates a cPanel variable or logic operator.
• cpanelprint() — The cpanelprint() method returns a cPanel variable's value. We deprecated this method in cPanel & WHM version 88.
• debug_log() — The debug_log() method writes data to the debugging log file.
• debug_log_json() — The debug_log_json() method writes JSON data to the debugging log file.
• end() — The end() method deconstructs the Cpanel::LiveAPI object and closes the connection to cPanel & WHM.
• exec() — The exec() method executes a cPanel tag.
• fetch() — The fetch() method is a wrapper to return a hash reference from the cpanelprint() function, which retrieves a cPanel variable. We deprecated this method in cPanel & WHM version 88.
• footer() — The footer() method calls the cPanel interface's footer.
• get_debug_level() — The get_debug_level() method retrieves the current debug level.
• get_debug_log() — The get_debug_log() method retrieves the debug log file's absolute path and filename.
• get_result() — The get_result() method fetches the most recent data result node for cPanel API 1 and cPanel API 2 functions. This method is for the LiveAPI PHP Class only .
• header() — The header() method calls the cPanel interface's header.
• new() — The new() method instantiates the Cpanel::LiveAPI object.
• set_debug() — The set_debug() method sets the amount of debug information to store in LiveAPI's debug log file.
• uapi() — The uapi() function executes a UAPI function. For use information and examples, read our Guide to UAPI .
