description: cPanel is a web-based control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools to simplify the
  management of web hosting services. cPanel exposes a family of HTTP APIs (UAPI, WHM API 1, and the legacy cPanel API 2)
  for automating account, domain, email, database, DNS, and server-wide operations. APIs accept API tokens or Basic Authentication
  and return JSON or XML responses.
