Authentication Error while using API for Add Client

[Fusionbird]

HI all,

 

Can any one help me for solving the issue I'm getting while doing the API integration for the Add Client .

 

I'm getting the error like " The following error occured: Authentication Failed ".

 

Can any one figure out the reason why I'm getting like this.

Have you allowed your server's IP access to the API? Setup > General Settings > Security tab.

Yes, I did the same for allowing my IP Address for doing the API connections.

 

Previously it was giving "Invalid IP Address" error, then after I added the IP for solving it.

Are you sure the administrator credentials from WHMCS are right (with API permissions)? Did you give in the password in md5 format? If so, post your script, so we can take a look.

Hello,

 

I am having the same issue. I made sure i have the iP address in the security tab. I took it out and tried than and got invalid ip address. Here is my script which is very basic i just wanted to see if you guys could possible help.

 

<?php

$url = "https://WHMC API Installation"; # URL to WHMCS API file
$username = "API-username"; # Admin username goes here
$password = "API-password"; # Admin password goes here

$postfields["action"] = "addclient"; 
$postfields["firstname"] = "Test";
$postfields["lastname"] = "User";
$postfields["companyname"] = "WHMCS";
$postfields["email"] = "demo@whmcs.com";
$postfields["address1"] = "123 Demo Street";
$postfields["city"] = "Demo";
$postfields["state"] = "Florida";
$postfields["postcode"] = "AB123";
$postfields["country"] = "US";
$postfields["phonenumber"] = "123456789";
$postfields["password2"] = "demo";
$postfields["currency"] = "1";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$data = explode(";",$data);
foreach ($data AS $temp) {
 $temp = explode("=",$temp);
 $results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
}

if ($results["result"]=="success") {
 # Result was OK!
} else {
 # An error occured
 echo "The following error occured: ".$results["message"];
}

?>

?>

 

Change:

$username = "API-username"; # Admin username goes here
$password = "API-password"; # Admin password goes here

To:

$postfields["username"] = "API-username"; # Admin username goes here
$postfields["password"] = md5("API-password"); # Admin password goes here
