CertCentral APIs
2 minute read
Welcome to the DigiCert CertCentral® API documentation!
This documentation assumes you have some experience working with APIs. If you’ve never worked with an API before, we recommend learning about the basics of APIs before using this service.
Getting started
Before you can use a CertCentral API, you need a couple of things.
- CertCentral account
- API key
- Ability to make API requests
Once you have these, you are ready to start using one of CertCentral’s APIs.
About the APIs
CertCentral APIs use URL-based entry points and require API keys be sent in the HTTP request header over port 443. However, each API uses a different technology when handling requests. To learn more, visit the reference documentation for each set of APIs:
- Services API: Automate certificate processes to save time and streamline certificate management. Use this API to manage all aspects of your CertCentral account.
- Report Library API: Create and manage custom reports for CertCentral certificate orders, domains, organizations, and more.
- Custom Reports API: Generate customizable and comprehensive data sets by leveraging the powerful GraphQL query language.
