Requirements

PHP 7.2+ or 8.0+
ext-curl
ext-json

Installation

composer require azozzalfiras/aapanel-api

Quick Start

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use AzozzALFiras\AAPanelAPI\AaPanel;

$panel = new AaPanel('your_api_key', 'https://your-server:8888');

// Get system info
$info = $panel->system()->getSystemTotal();

// List PHP websites
$sites = $panel->website()->getList();

// Create a MySQL database
$panel->database()->create('mydb', 'myuser', 'mypass');

Options

$panel = new AaPanel('your_api_key', 'https://your-server:8888', [
    'timeout'    => 120,        // Request timeout in seconds (default: 60)
    'verify_ssl' => true,       // Verify SSL certificate (default: false)
    'cookie_dir' => '/tmp',     // Cookie storage directory (default: sys_get_temp_dir())
]);

System

// System statistics (OS, CPU, memory, uptime, panel version)
$panel->system()->getSystemTotal();

// Disk partition info
$panel->system()->getDiskInfo();

// Real-time CPU, memory, network, load
$panel->system()->getNetWork();

// Panel logs
$panel->system()->getLogs(20, 1);

// Check installation tasks
$panel->system()->getTaskCount();

// Check for / perform panel update
$panel->system()->updatePanel(true, false);

// Server configuration
$panel->system()->getConfig();
$panel->system()->setConfig(['param' => 'value']);

Websites

The website module supports 4 project types, each with its own class plus shared features (SSL, domains, redirects, backups, logs, etc.) available on all types.

Access Patterns

// Via facade (backward compatible — defaults to PHP)
$panel->website()->getList();
$panel->website()->create('example.com', '/www/wwwroot/example.com', 'My site');

// Via facade → specific type
$panel->website()->php()->getList();
$panel->website()->node()->getList();
$panel->website()->python()->getList();
$panel->website()->proxy()->getList();

// Direct shortcuts (skip facade)
$panel->phpSite()->getList();
$panel->nodeSite()->getList();
$panel->pythonSite()->getList();
$panel->proxySite()->getList();

PHP Sites

$php = $panel->website()->php();

// List / query
$php->getList(20, 1, 'example');
$php->getListV2(50, 1);                    // v2 endpoint
$php->getSiteTypes();                       // Get categories
$php->getPHPVersions();                     // Installed PHP versions

// Create
$php->create(
    'example.com',                          // Domain
    '/www/wwwroot/example.com',             // Root path
    'Production site',                      // Remarks
    ['www.example.com'],                    // Additional domains
    0,                                      // Category ID
    '81',                                   // PHP version
    '80',                                   // Port
    true, 'ftpuser', 'ftppass',            // Create FTP
    true, 'dbuser', 'dbpass'               // Create database
);

// Delete (with optional cleanup)
$php->delete(1, 'example.com', true, true, true);  // delete FTP + DB + files

// Start / Stop
$php->start(1, 'example.com');
$php->stop(1, 'example.com');

} catch (AuthenticationException $e) {
    // Invalid API key or IP not in whitelist
    echo "Auth failed: " . $e->getMessage();
} catch (ConnectionException $e) {
    // cURL error, invalid JSON response, network issue
    echo "Connection error: " . $e->getMessage();
} catch (AaPanelException $e) {
    // General API error
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Backward Compatibility

The legacy aaPanelApiClient class is still available and works exactly as before:

use AzozzALFiras\AAPanelAPI\aaPanelApiClient;

$client = new aaPanelApiClient('your_key', 'https://your-server:8888');
$client->fetchLogs();
$client->addSite('example.com', 'example', 'My site');
$client->fetchSites(20, 1);
// ... all old methods still work

To migrate, switch to the new AaPanel class — all methods map 1:1.
