cpanel api to delete addon domains using curl

ehab · May 2022

hi

does anyone know how to use cpanel api to delete addon domains.

preferably using curl or a php script.

i don't mind making several calls just delete the domain

Thanks for any helps

It would be best if you tried that. It's should be working;

https://api.docs.cpanel.net/openapi/whm/operation/delete_domain/?_ga=2.60178669.1144815184.1652836475-1008392594.1628034175

I tried the above with several combinations but didn't work either with access denied, function does not exists etc ...what i would like is a complete example if need

curl authenticate + getsession "if needed"
curl call the delete api

but cpanel api's are fragmented between old-new not complete for example the above will not delete the subdomains you'd wish there is a parameter recursive.

I think a lot of improvements can be made and should discourage old calls.

I like doing it manually.

In particular each and every dns record.

Very gratifying

once in a while is fine, but if you have 10's scripting is the only way.

I'm fairly certain that you can only delete domains via the WHM API.

If you have WHM API access then you could run the following CURL -

curl -H'Authorization: whm username:MYAPITOKEN' https://hostname.example.com:2087/json-api/delete_domain?api.version=1&domain=example.com

I haven't tried if i can access with a whm account, infact not sure if my normal cpanel user account can access that way.

anyway i found something working for now

curl --location --request GET 'https://hostname.example.com:2083/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_version=2&domain=example.com&cpanel_jsonapi_module=AddonDomain&cpanel_jsonapi_func=deladdondomain&subdomain=example.com.maindomain.com' \ --header 'Authorization: cpanel YOURCPID:YOURTOKEN'

Where'd you find that? I had a look at the cPanel API doco and couldn't find that

yeah, the API and docs need a lot of improvements. I can sometimes say this is shit.

I am thinking to publish a postman collection for both cpanel and directadmin basic 101 calls... just need to find the time.

QuantumCore · May 2022

Yeah, you'd get a bit of traffic for that I'd guess since I searched for API stuff and apart from the cPanel doco, I didn't get a lot of results, even from the cPanel forums.
