  Hi sisir, Have you authenticated your token in your code? Guide to API Authentication - API Tokens in WHM - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation You can also do a quick test using curl through command line to see if your token can access the server and API correctly: curl -H'Authorization: whm root:' 'https://:2087/json-api/accountsummary?api.version=1&user='

  With authorization header it seems to work. BTW, does it mean the doc need to be updated?

  Hi I am experiencing the same issues and im using POSTMAN. I just need clarity on the following. 1. Where exactly in the URL should i be placing the token, is it the part in ur example with "1111111..." 2. Please explain what do you mean by Authorization Header. I dont seem to have that option under Authorization

  @screwtape In a general curl request, it should look like: curl -H'Authorization: whm root:' 'https://:2087/json-api/accountsummary?api.version=1&user='
  I'm not too familiar with POSTMAN.
