Revoke order certificates

PUT

https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/{{order_id}}/revoke

Use this endpoint to submit a request to revoke all certificates on an order.

This operation revokes all certificates on an order, including duplicates and reissues. To revoke only a single certificate on an order, use the Revoke certificate endpoint.

Revoking a certificate is permanent. For most implementations, revoking a code signing or document signing certificate invalidates past signatures and timestamps on code or documents signed by the certificate.

Skip the approval step

After submitting the request, an administrator must approve it before DigiCert can revoke the certificate.

To skip the approval step and submit the request directly to DigiCert for revocation, include "skip_approval": true in the body of your request. To skip the approval step, the API key must have admin privileges. See Authentication.
