Input [Feature Request] Add php_handler_id to Plesk Rest API [GET] /domains

[tertek]

As far as I can tell, there is no simple way to fetch subdomains and their associated php_handler_id's in one (or more) requests through Plesk Rest API.

I have read through the Rest Documentation, as well as through CLI documentation, but could not find an easy way to retrieve php_handler_id for my sudomains.

However, through XML API this is rather simple, by calling packet:subdomains:get: ... .

Using XML API does not seem right, and also requires additional parsing of response. JSON would be much needed.
Therefore, I submit this feature request to add php_handler_id to the response object of Rest API endpoint for GET /domains.

@tertek, the XML API is actually the preferred and recommend interface for these operations. The REST API is really only meant, as far as I know at least, for simple operations. While the XML API has much more elaborate options.

In case you using a PHP application (or scripts) for your API calls, there is an official XML API wrapper for PHP to simply usage.

@Kaspar I have also noticed, that XML API is much more elobarate - on the other hand working with XML is really painful. Hence, I wish the REST API would be extended.

I am using Ansible to automate Plesk on multiple hosts at once. Ansible has XML parsers, but it is an additional overhead.

@Sebahat.hadzhi The particular use-case would be: Automating the process to php_handler_id per subdomain, after retrieving all subdomains per domain and checking there current php_handler_id.
