cPanel API access from hook with WHM 74?

Hi all, We have a hook that let the user create a forwarder on an unexisting email address which perfectly worked until, I guess, update to version 74. What don't work anymore is the access to cPanel API from the hook. The code we used is the following :

my $args = {
        'cpanel_xmlapi_module'     => 'Email',
        'cpanel_xmlapi_func'       => 'addpop',
        'cpanel_xmlapi_apiversion' => '2',
        'cpanel_xmlapi_user'       => $data->{'user'},
        'domain'                   => $domain,
        'email'                    => $user,
        'password'                 => '[somepass...]'
    };
    my $xml = Cpanel::XML::cpanel_exec_fast($args);
    my $xmlRef = XML::Simple::XMLin($xml);
    $logger->info(Data::Dumper::Dumper($xmlRef));

But now that XML API is deprecated, we guess that we have to change *_xmlapi_* to *_jsonapi_*. But this seems not to be enough to make it work again. I guess the problem is on the call to the API but I don't find any documentation to learn what to use instead of :

my $xml = Cpanel::XML::cpanel_exec_fast($args);
my $xmlRef = XML::Simple::XMLin($xml);

Do you have some tips or the url of the documentation related to cPanel API call from hook ? Thanks in advance for any peace of information, Philippe

Hi all, I finally found the answer after reading many different posts, but not in the cPanel documentation...

use Cpanel::API;

my $res = Cpanel::API::execute(
    'Email', 'add_pop',
    {
        'domain' => $domain,
        'email' => $user,
        'password_hash' => '$6$...',
        'quota' => '500',
        'skip_update_db' => 1,
        'send_welcome_email' => 0
    }
);
$logger->info(Data::Dumper::Dumper($res));

But one question is still not answered... Is it the right way to do it ? Hope this helps those who will have the same problem. Philippe

Hello @tizoo, You'll need to ensure your script makes use of the JSON output instead. We document an example of this at: UAPI - Return Data - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation Feel free to test out the custom code noted in your last response and let us know if you encounter any issues. Thank you.
