DirectAdmin API

Integrate your product with DirectAdmin

More custom CMD_API_ commands can be added upon request.
*** Most new CMD_API_ calls are only listed in the versions system, which can be searched please check the versions system if it's not listed below. ***

DirectAdmin Uses port 2222 which may or may not be secure (SSL). The default is not, so if you need to chose one, chose non SSL. Authentication is basic web authentication using base64 encryption of "username:password"

The values "ON or OFF" generally indicate a checkbox, so if the checkbox is not checked, the name will not be passed and OFF is assumed. If a checkbox value is to be OFF, then the variable should not be passed at all.

A return value of Text means that a website will be returned with text showing the result. If the return value is Location, then a Location header will be returned as a redirect to send the client to a new page. If return value is url encoded, a url encoded string is returned after the DirectAdmin Headers. If its a list, it'll be in the list[] array. Use "unhtmlentities()" then "parse_str()" with PHP to get the values. This is the code I use for decoding with all API testing: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=204

You MUST have the proper permissions with your account in order use the API. For example, a User cannot get the list of all the Users on the server, only an Admin can.


Command naming format for API calls:

For APIs, they're always the same name as in DA (when logged in witha browser), just with API added, eg:


CMD_POP


becomes:


CMD_API_POP


which is all you'd need to search the Versions System with CMD_API_POP.
Also both CMD_POP and CMD_API_POP use the exact same code internally. If CMD_POP can do it, CMD_API_POP can do it. The only difference is the ouput. The API version will generate pareseable output.


"Login-as" with the API:

Note that you can use the "login-as" feature with the API if you want to make User Level API calls for your clients, but don't know their passwords. The way you do that is setup your API to make the User Level API call normally, but instead of using $username = "clientuser"; (since you don't know their password) you'd instead use: $username = "admin|clientuser"; and specify the admin password. This can be used for any Admin or Reseller who controls the client they're logging into. Note that an Admin can control everyone, so they can login to anyone's account with this method. A Reseller can obviously only log into their own client's accounts. You can also test this feature out at the standard DA login page.. enter the "admin|user" username instead of "admin", along with the admin password, and you'll be logged in as "user" with your browser.


Login Keys

As of DirectAdmin 1.41.0, the Login Keys feature is fully functional and integrated into the User skins and packages. They are recommended if you are providing a password to an external system for use with your server's API. Login Keys allow you to provide a separate password to the external script, and to greatly restrict their functionality, as needed. You can limit the IP that can connect, the commands it's allowed to run (allow or deny), the number of calls it can make, and an expiry date for that Login Key.
