  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Resolved REST API: Unable to retrieve all databases via databases endpoint

TITLE


REST API: Unable to retrieve all databases via databases endpoint

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

CentOS 7.9
Plesk 18.0.50

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

In Plesk version .49 and lower it used to be possible to retrieve all databases with the REST API using the database endpoint. However when using the database endpoint in Plesk .50 without a domain filter the following error get returned:
JSON:
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "Cannot create element with an empty name"
}

I couldn't find anything in the change log about this so I am not sure if this is a indented change or a bug (I am hoping for the latter). If it's by design it would be good to get it confirmed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run call via Plesk REST API to database endpoint without a domain filter. Like:
Code:
curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://server.hostname.plesk:8443/api/v2/databases' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'authorization: Basic ABCDEFG='

Returns
JSON:
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "Cannot create element with an empty name"
}

ACTUAL RESULT

Returns error

EXPECTED RESULT

Returns al list of all databases

@Strangelove are you sure? I just updated to 18.0.50.2 but when I run the API call I still get the same error as an response.

Call:
Code:
curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://server.hostname.plesk:8443/api/v2/databases' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'authorization: Basic ABCDEFG='

Response:
Code:
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "Cannot create element with an empty name"
}
