curl to custom module

[steph.hope]

I've seen in the topic below that if we need to be able to trigger actions remotely we should create an addon module:

If you want to implement a URL that can run custom code, I would recommend using an addon module with the admin area output or client area output functionality:

However when I create a module and try to do a request to it using curl I get a redirect to login.

["redirect_url"]=>
  string(123) "https://[my url]/admin/login.php?redirect=%2Fwhmcs%2Fadmin%2Faddonmodules.php%3Fmodule%3Dcustommodule"

How can I get this to work without being redirected?

I also tried using the code from the below topic, but all I ended up with was my IP banned for too many failed logins...

Nevermind, I got it eventually. I had to set in configuration.php

$allow_external_login_forms = true;

As per here: https://docs.whmcs.com/Linking_to_WHMCS#Integrating_The_Login_Form_into_your_Website

Where you trying to access via https://whmcs.example.com/?m=yourAddonName ?   Using that URL, you don't need logins and such. It uses the client area output function and so might not be what you want exactly if you want admin stuff.   The other way is to use custom pages but it depends on what your end goal is .
