Calling http://manage2.cpanel.net/XMLlookup.cgi?ip=127.0.0.1 in a web browser will produce XML output similar to the following:

<XMLlookup licenseid="000001" reason="OK" status="1" version="1"/>

Calling the function using the URL above will return XML data by default. To change the output format that will be returned, use either of the following URLs:

• JSON — http://manage2.cpanel.net/XMLlookup.cgi?output=json&ip=127.0.0.1
• YAML — http://manage2.cpanel.net/XMLlookup.cgi?output=yaml&ip=127.0.0.1

For more information about each of these output types, visit our Choosing an Output Type documentation.

The following is an example of a Perl module that will call XMLlookup.cgi. You can use this module to pass input variables to a Manage2 API function. You may need to edit the example below to suit your needs.

fetchLicenseId(
ip=>$ip
)

In this example, $ip is meant to stand for the IP address that corresponds to the license ID you wish to retrieve.

The following is an example showing how to call the cPanelLicensing PHP class. You can use this class to pass input variables to the Manage2 API using a few short calls.

<?php

include("cpl.inc.php");

$cpl = new cPanelLicensing("__USERNAME__","__PASSWORD__");
$lisc = $cpl->fetchLicenseId(array(
		"ip" => $ip
	)
);

?>

In this example, $ip is meant to stand for the IP address that corresponds to the license ID you wish to retrieve.

Remember: __USERNAME__ and __PASSWORD__ are meant to represent the username and password for your Manage2 account.
