Extra Live API Libs and such for CPANEL.
- Python LiveAPI
- NodeJS LiveAPI
- NodeJS Install How To.
CPANEL Supports Python out of the box but it is missing the actual LiveAPI library.
- Copy the cpanel.py lib to your ui directory.
- Example: /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/mymodule
- Create the index.live.py file or what ever as you would with LiveAPI PHP.
Example index.live.py
import sys, os, socket, cpanel, pprint,json, cgi, cgitb
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
pprint.pprint(form)
headers = form.headers
pprint.pprint(headers['content-type'])
pprint.pprint(json.loads(form.value))
api = cpanel.LiveAPI()
data = api.api2("CustInfo", "displaycontactinfo")
pprint.pprint(data)
pprint.pprint(api.api1("NVData", "set", ['bob','blahh2']))
pprint.pprint(api.cpanelprint("$NVDATA{'bob'}"))
pprint.pprint(api.api2("NVData", "set", {"names":"bob2", "bob2": "test"}))
pprint.pprint(api.cpanelprint("$NVDATA{'bob2'}"))NodeJS is not supported by CPANEL for live api. However we can make use of LiveCGI to wrap NodeJS into working. I have created a LiveAPI library to use and a CGI module / wrapper. However installing this will require root permissions and some time. If you don't know command line I do not suggest using this.
Install NodeJS binary from the main site.
For example 64 bit centos http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.35/node-v0.10.35-linux-x64.tar.gz
We need to install nodejs to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty
$ cd /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty
$ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.35/node-v0.10.35-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf node-v0.10.35-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ mv node-v0.10.35-linux-x64 nodejsNext we need to symlink the node_modules directory to the frontend base dir /usr/local/cpanel/base
$ ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/nodejs/lib/node_modules /usr/local/cpanel/base/node_modulesNow we need a few modules installed
- q
- xml2js
$ /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/nodejs/bin/npm install -g xml2js
$ /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/nodejs/bin/npm install -g qNow all we need to do is copy the LiveAPI library and the CGI library to your frontend module directory and create our live file as usual.
with one exception. since we can not modify cpsrvd we will need to name the file example: index.live.cgi and modify the shebang line to use nodejs.
Example nodejs live api file
#!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/nodejs/bin/node
//require the cgi lib.
var cgi = require('./cgi');
var Q = require('q');
var liveApi = require('./cpanel.js');
var server;
var request;
var response;
function doWork(api)
{
return Q.allSettled([
api.exec('<cpanel Branding="file(local.css)">')
.then(function(data)
{
response.writeLine(cgi.json.prettyPrint(data));
}),
api.exec('<cpanel print="cow">')
.then(function(data)
{
response.writeLine(cgi.json.prettyPrint(data));
}),
api.api1('print', '', ['hog'])
.then(function(data)
{
response.writeLine(cgi.json.prettyPrint(data));
}),
api.api2('Email','listpopswithdisk', [{'api2_paginate' :1, 'api2_paginate_start' : 1, 'api2_paginate_size': 10, "acct":1}])
.then(function(data)
{
response.writeLine(cgi.json.prettyPrint(data));
}),
//fail
api.api2('Emailsad','listpopswithdisksad', [{'api2_paginate' :1, 'api2_paginate_start' : 1, 'api2_paginate_size': 10, "acct":1}])
.then(function(data)
{
response.writeLine(cgi.json.prettyPrint(data));
})
]);
}
cgi.debug(true);
server = new cgi.server();
server.listen(function(req, res) {
var api = new liveApi();
request = req;
response = res;
response.buffered = false;
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
response.writeLine("<html><head></head><body>");
response.writeLine(cgi.json.style());
doWork(api).then(function() {
console.log("work done");
response.writeLine("</body></html>");
api.end();
response.end();
});

WGADDWYW - Who gives a damn do what ever you want.
DONT come to me if these break stuff or what ever...
Yeah the code could be better this was just a quick test and get these things done.
The Python LIVE api was ported line for line (and yeah the way they parse is ewww) to ensure it worked the exact same as the LivePHP script did.
The NodeJS one was a GitErDone thing also so feel free to make these production ready, modify or what ever.
