New cpanel api authentication

[MDHMatt]

Just wondering if the cpanel module has been or will be updated for the new version of the api?

 

from what I read they are getting rid of the secret key like we have now and  implementing a new way to do it. 

 

(Link to be added a soon as off mobile)

I believe Paul is going to be looking into this soon as it's not out yet it's still in the early stages

I spent some time trying to find the right API docs for this, but I might not be smart enough. A link to the API docs? Is it just "WHM API 1"? Do you know if they have released a PHP API Library for this version of the API? If so, where is it?

Yes, WHM API 1 (not 0). cPanel has a few SDKs. Their official one is only for XML responses 

https://github.com/CpanelInc/publicapi-php

But they also support JSON. All API functions support XML and JSON. If you look at their confluence page for all SDKs, they provide sample Perl and JSON code.

Example:

Here a list of 3rd party cPanel libraries. PHP is included.

cPanel is not removing the old WHM authentication anytime soon. It will be years, and I mean years, before cPanel fully deprecates the old style key based authentication in favor for the ReST one.

This should not be the only reason holding you back on upgrading.
