How To Manage API Tokens In cPanel?

What is an API Token in cPanel?

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) were introduced with WHM version 80 and later. API functions allow you to view and manipulate account data without the need to log in to the cPanel interface. For example, you could issue an API token to a third-party developer. That third-party developer could use that token to check the disk usage of the cPanel account. In this article we will discuss about how to manage api tokens in cPanel.
