Hi, I am looking for a way via which I can take backups of selected MySQL DB via API. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

  Hi @harshitpeer You really don't need the api for db backups, you can use mysqldump to achieve this. The MySQL related API functions that exist can be found here:UAPI Modules - Mysql - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thanks!

  @kvvaradha - there is not currently an API command that lets a cPanel user backup a specific database. If you'd like to see that in the future, I'd recommend submitting a feature request using the link in my signature so the developers can see if that is something they can add.

  thank you @cPRex. Can you also suggest me a way to backup multiple databases from cpanel to my backup server. ? I tried to enable the exec for a cpanel user specific. But its not possible i feel. is there anyway to use mysqldump to backup the databases from our program itself.

  If your cPanel user has shell access they would have the MySQL dump command available. There isn't another way for a cPanel to execute that command currently, so a feature request for an additional API call would be the best way to go if you wanted to see that change.
