API

Softaculous API

Softaculous API can be used to perform various functions in Softaculous like Installing scripts, Upgrading installations, Importing installations, List Installations, Backup installations, Restore backups, List Backups, Remove installations, Delete backups, Download backups. 

Admin Functions

Authenticating

Each Control Panel has its own method of authentication. Some panels allow root/admin to access the enduser panel as the enduser over an API call. However that is beyond the scope of this guide.

Enduser

Authenticating

You need to write your authentication method in this step i.e. how the login in your control panel works. If your control panel requires cookie you can generate the cookie in this step and then pass on the cookie while making the API call.

Example

We will take an example of cPanel where the login details are passed in the URL.

CURL

curl "https://user:password@domain.com:2083/frontend/jupiter/softaculous/index.live.php?"

PHP

$url = 'https://user:password@domain.com:2083/frontend/jupiter/softaculous/index.live.php?';

// Set the curl parameters
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $time);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// Turn off the server and peer verification (TrustManager Concept).
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);

// Get response from the server.
$resp = curl_exec($ch);

Make sure you use this authentication while making any API call.
