Question

How to disable or restrict Plesk XML API?

Answer

It's possible to disable completely the XML API or limit the access to trusted IP addresses only.

To do so, add the following entries to the panel.ini file:

  • To prohibit all connections via XML API:

    [api]
    enabled = off

  • To allow connections via XML API only from specific IP addresses:

    [api]
    allowedIPs = 203.0.113.2,192.0.2.2

    Where the allowedIPs setting accepts one or more IP addresses separated by commas or whitespace ( ) characters.

Note that disabling or restricting the XML API will affect likewise the REST API access. More information here
