Please provide a CLI for web host automation through a command-line or script. The API is provided for developers who wish to build off of WHMCS so wrapping the most common/essential calls into a command-line interface would be a logical extension. This would allow for administration of WHMCS in line with the modern approach used by cloud providers. A CLI would be especially helpful for quickly checking health, performing automatic upgrades, batch operations and so much more.

A WHMCS CLI would make automation much smoother for admins and developers. Managing repetitive tasks through commands instead of the dashboard could save a lot of time, especially for larger hosting environments. https://footballbrosio.io/online

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for taking the time to make this suggestion. There are a few operations which can be performed at the command line, such as installations/updates, as well as triggering the automation:

Is there a particular task or group of functions you'd like to execute via a CLI interface?
