I can see only GetServers API but we need CreateServer API or AddServer API, AddServerGroup API
Is i am wrong and this is this posible today trought module API or etc ?
Can some one tell me how to do this with Databbase API commands?

I have been asked to automate our clean install cpanel setups and tie them to whmcs. I was led to believe that everything that can be done from the web interface in WHMCS could be done through the API. I have found out this is not the case and am disappointed as this one last step of hooking up a cpanel (using the api code, nameservers, etc) isn't represented in the public documentation. Please add an API call to attach a cpanel server because I need to do this from a shell script. A corresponding detach would also be greatly appreciated.

add server to group and remove server to group ~20 times per day

we've got a queue of adding and removing resellers servers every day, partners servers and collocation. Many hand work causes errors everywhere. This can be done with 1 bash script from clients server, 1 API call.
At this moment we use 5 sql script's for this, not perfect at all. Fight against resell, if server overloaded, warn admin and = auto change "Maximum No. of Accounts" or "Enabled" status.
Servers tab: "Assigned IP Addresses" manualy? For real? "Monthly Cost" manualy ? Hard work for us to do all this manualy and lot of errors came up.

Hi Denic,
Thanks for our suggestion.
I'd be interested to hear more about your use-case which would require the adding of servers so frequently from an external sourc to warrant automation in this way?
Typically I would expect adding a new server to WHMCS to be an occasional task.
