cpanel directly on our system need to fellow this step:

1) Define our information

 <?php
// Prevent the script from timing out
set_time_limit(0);

// Settings
$whmUsername = 'root';
$whmPassword = 'ourpassword'; // our cpanel password
$whmUrl = 'oururl'; // our cpanel url address NOTE if has port please include
$apiMethod = 'json-api/createacct'; // if we want to create please write this
$apiVersion = '1';

// API Method URL
$method = $whmUrl . $apiMethod;

// User Info

// See documentation for full list of parameters:
// https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/SDK/WHM+API+1+Functions+-+createacct
$users = array(
 
    'username'      => 'username', // Required
    'domain'        => 'ourdomainname', // Required
    'password'      => 'ourpassword',
    'cpmod'         => 'paper_lantern',
    'contactemail'  => 'email'
  );

 

2)  user php curl to create

$curl = curl_init();

// Allow self signed certificates
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,0);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER,0);

// Basic Authentication
$header[0] = 'Authorization: Basic ' . base64_encode($whmUsername.":".$whmPassword) . "\n\r";
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);


  // Set the API version
  $data['api.version'] = $apiVersion;
