EUserv Reseller API

Introduction

Technology

Our API is based on the XML-RPC protocol, which is a Remote Procedure Calling protocol that works over the Internet.

XML-RPC messages are HTTP-POST requests in XML (Extensible Markup Language).

A “method call” will be executed on the server and will produce a response, which is also formatted in XML and which can be decoded into several variables.
Method call parameters and returned variables can be strings, integers (numbers) and also complex types like arrays and hashes. Required parameters and return values are method-specific. Some parameters or return values are marked as “optional”; all other values/parameters are required.

API Servers

The live environment is available over HTTPS (HTTP over SSL, Port 443) at:
– https://api.euserv.net:443
For developing/testing purposes, please use the sandbox environment, which is also available over HTTPS(Port 443) at:
– https://api.test.euserv.net:443

The sandbox environment is a virtual environment for testing and developing. All data/values/servers/orders will be copied into the sandbox environment every night, excepting the API user accounts. That means you have to create separate API user accounts within the sandbox environment. Assigned tasks, e.g. server resets or reinstallations, will automatically marked as done every 5 minutes.

PHP Examples

We have added PHP examples to show you, how you can use our API with PHP. In our examples, we use 'XML-RPC for PHP' as the core libary. You can find this libary here:
http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/.

Method Specifications

Introduction

The following part contains information about method calls, method parameters and method return values.
Generally, if a method call was completed successfully, the return message will include the following status code:

If a method call was failed, a XML-Fault message with “Fault-Code” and “Fault-String” will be returned.(See also chapter “XML Fault-Codes”)

API Debug/Testing Methods

debug.get_api_version

PURPOSE

This Method returns the current API version.

debug.pingpong

PURPOSE

This Method returns all the parameters, it was called with. You can use it to check the format of your call parameters. Notice that only supported parameter keys with correctly formatted values will be accepted!

CALL PARAMETERS

Every supported parameter key; see parameters of other methods.

RETURNS

Every committed parameter with its committed value.
