API not working (Invalid IP ***)

[evcz]

I'm trying this code:

 

$url = "http://www.mydomain.tld/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file
$username = "myadminusername"; # Admin username goes here
$password = "myadminpassword"; # Admin password goes here

$postfields["username"] = $username;
$postfields["password"] = md5($password);

$postfields["action"] = "encryptpassword";
$postfields["password2"] = "aPASSwordIwantTOencrypt";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($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!
 echo $results['password'];
} else {
 # An error occured
 echo "The following error occured: ".$results["message"];
}

 

 

on many different boxes (even tried on the same box as the one running whmcs) but getting everywhere:

 

result=error;message=Invalid IP ***.***.***.***

 

what am I doing wrong?

 

I just want to integrate my own website letting the users to login with their whmcs data but I do not know which salt you are using so I've to deal with this thing called API (I really wish there was another way to get a password "encrypted"...)

 

I thought I would just do everything on my own and check if the login was valid with a simple mysql query... but found me in stuck with this damn api thing

yup

 

result=error;message=Invalid IP 85.x.x.x

Here she is :

 

When adding an API admin user, the user only needs access to the API. You must also setup the IP(s) you will be connecting from in General Settings > Other. Failure to do this will result in an error Invalid IP

 

hehehee

Finaly i found, the problem is in documentation,

 

in the link http://wiki.whmcs.com/API:About is write

BUT TO CONFIGURE THE IP IS IN THE TAB SECURITY

[dm800pvr]

there is no such thing in general/other in whmcs 4.4.x

[WHMCS John]

This is a very old thread, it's been moved to Setup > General Settings > Security tab.

Is this correct for allowing a range of  IPS? or is that not supported

[sinebi]

I have my IP address to the white list yet I still get this error 

result=error;message=Invalid IP 41.***.***

I am using postman to make my API Call , What I am i not doing correctly?
