How to Generate a WHM API Token

Generating a WHM API Token

1. Log in to WHM and search for API Token (listed under Security).

   

2. Click Generate a New Token.

   

3. Enter a name, for the token, Whitelisted IPs (optional), and select the permissions you want to grant.

   

4. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

5. Copy the token (it will only be shown once) and store it in a secure location.

Lost WHM API Token

If you lose your WHM API token, you can generate a new one. However, the old token will still work until it is revoked.

To revoke a token, go to the API Token section in WHM and click the Revoke button next to the token you want to revoke.
