For User in cokcpit only via API

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://domain.com/api/cockpit/listUsers?token=XXXX");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$users = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

      $json = json_decode($users);
      foreach ($json as $user) {
echo $user->email;
echo $user->id
      
      }

You can also use Guzzle (to fetch data via Cockpit API) and Slim (micro-framework, to manage the routing part) to do this :

Hi creativeplusplus, how did you manage the routing of the pages and the rewriting of the url of the jobs?
Thanks if you want to answer me.
