API

The API has been introduced in v3.4. Therefore, it is only available & supported on v3.4 and above.

This page explains the ways to interact with the Abuse Manager Pro API.

Generating your API ID For Authentication

• Login to your WHMCS installation (WHMCS Admin)

• Go to Setup > Staff Management > Manage API Credentials

• Click on API roles, click on Create API Role button, DO NOT give it any actions, press save

• Click on API credentials, click on Generate New API Credential button, select your admin user, select the API role created previously

• Copy the identifier only - we do not need the secret

• This identifier will be the API_ID that needs to be passed in the header of your call to authenticate with the API
