Use PHP to create list of WHM accounts - php

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to connect to my WHM with PHP using the cPanel PublicAPI PHP Repository https://github.com/CpanelInc/publicapi-php so that I can create a list of the accounts in the WHM.
Is there anything I should know? Are there any restrictions? I simply want to populate a list of my accounts that are in my WHM.
Right now I'm getting an error
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in
I was wondering if there was something blocking me?
Here is what my code looks like, I'd like to create a php variable to holds the array data, then loop through it printing the account domain name
require_once '../_libraries/publicapi-php-master/Cpanel/Util/Autoload.php';
$config = array(
'service' => array(
'whm' => array(
'config' => array(
'host' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'user' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'password' => 'XXXXXXXXXX'
),
),
),
);
$cp = Cpanel_PublicAPI::getInstance($config);
$accounts = $cp->whm_api('listaccts');
print_R($accounts);
#print $accounts->_response->dataContainer->storage->acct->dataContainer->storage[0];
When I do a print_r($accounts) this is what I get, I just need to know how to traverse this and loop through it with PHP. I can see in this output the first domain is cfpacking.com, that is the data I'm after.

The response object can be turned into an array using the following syntax:
require_once '../_libraries/publicapi-php-master/Cpanel/Util/Autoload.php';
$config = array(
'service' => array(
'whm' => array(
'config' => array(
'host' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'user' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'password' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
),
),
),
);
$cp = Cpanel_PublicAPI::getInstance($config);
$accounts = $cp->whm_api('listaccts',array('search'=>'XXXXXXXXX','searchtype'=>'owner'));
$accounts = $accounts->getResponse('array')['acct'];
foreach($accounts as $account){
print $account['domain'];
print '<br />';
}
The library(https://github.com/CpanelInc/publicapi-php) contains code that generates warnings in php 7.2 because of a breaking change. Because the library hasn't been maintaned for 9 years you will have to fix it yourself.
The fix:
old:
Cpanel/PublicApi.php line 343
if (count($storedServicesConfig) > 1) {
new:
Cpanel/PublicApi.php line 343
if (count($storedServicesConfig->getAllData()) > 1) {
