NAME

WWW::DirectAdmin::API - Access the DirectAdmin API with Perl

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

This will provide access to the DirectAdmin API. The DirectAdmin API has three levels Admin, Reseller and User functions.

At this time, this API only implements the User level functions. I am open to adding others but at time of initial creation I didn't need those.

Please read http://www.directadmin.com/api.html for details.

use WWW::DirectAdmin::API;

my $da = WWW::DirectAdmin::API->new(
    host   => 'example.com',
    user   => 'username',
    pass   => 'password',
    domain => 'example-example.com'
);

my @domains = $da->get_domains;

print "You have: ", join( ',', @domains ), "\n";

my @subdomains = $da->get_subdomains;

print "You have: ", join( ',', @subdomains ), "\n";

METHODS

new

Creates new WWW::DirectAdmin::API object. Parameters are passed in as name value pairs. e.g. host => 'example.com'

  • host

  • port (optional, default: 2222)

  • username

  • password

  • domain - user's require this for most user actions (e.g. example.com)

  • ua - LWP::UserAgent object (optional)

  • https - set to true to use HTTPS (default: false)

  • debug - Output debug logging (optional)

error

Returns hash with error keys from API calls. This is not always populated since maybe calls don't return error messages.

Usage:

if ( defined $da->error->{details} ) {  
  print "Error details: ", $da->error->{details}, "\n";
}

These are possible keys:

  • text

  • details

uri

Returns URI object

debug_level( $boolean )

Set debug level after object construction.

At this time debugging can be enabled with '1' or disabled with '0'.

USER LEVEL API

User level API commands.

All create or delete commands return true on success and throw exception in case of error.

You can check error method for hash of error details.

get_domains

Returns list of domains

my @domains = $da->get_domains;

get_subdomains

Returns list of subdomains

my @subdomains = $da->get_subdomains;

create_subdomain( subdomain => 'name' )

Creates new subdomain

if ( create_subdomain( subdomain => 'perlrocks' ) {
  print "Created subdomain\n";
}   
else {
  print "Booo! failed to create subdomain\n";
  print "Error: ", $da->error->{details}, "\n";
}

Returns true on success, false on error

delete_subdomain( subdomain => 'name', contents => 'yes|no' )

Deletes subdomain and if contents are set to 'yes' (default) then directory underneath.

get_databases

Returns list of databases

create_database( %params )

Create new database with user

Parameters

  • name - database name

  • user - database username (according to API doc will append current username to it)

  • passwd - password

  • passwd2 - confirm password

delete_database( name => 'database name' )

Deletes database

Note: Database names have current username automatically prefixed when created by DirectAdmin. In delete call name must include username prefix. e.g. 'username_dbname'

ADMIN LEVEL API

Very little of this is implemement today.

get_users
