https://developer.godaddy.com/keys/

Please create a Production key, instead of a Test key.

export GD_Key="sdfsdfsdfljlbjkljlkjsdfoiwje"

5. Use PowerDNS embedded API to automatically issue cert

First you need to login to your PowerDNS account to enable the API and set your API-Token in the configuration.

https://doc.powerdns.com/md/httpapi/README/

export PDNS_Url="http://ns.example.com:8081"
export PDNS_ServerId="localhost"
export PDNS_Token="0123456789ABCDEF"

6. Use OVH/kimsufi/soyoustart/runabove API to automatically issue cert

https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-use-OVH-domain-api

7. Use nsupdate to automatically issue cert

First, generate a key for updating the zone

b=$(dnssec-keygen -a hmac-sha512 -b 512 -n USER -K /tmp foo)
cat > /etc/named/keys/update.key <<EOF
key "update" {
    algorithm hmac-sha512;
    secret "$(awk '/^Key/{print $2}' /tmp/$b.private)";
};
EOF
rm -f /tmp/$b.{private,key}

Include this key in your named configuration

include "/etc/named/keys/update.key";

Next, configure your zone to allow dynamic updates.

Depending on your named version, use either

zone "example.com" {
    type master;
    allow-update { key "update"; };
};

or

zone "example.com" {
    type master;
    update-policy {
        grant update subdomain example.com.;
    };
}

Finally, make the DNS server and update Key available to acme.sh

export NSUPDATE_SERVER="dns.example.com"
export NSUPDATE_KEY="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=="

Ok, let's issue a cert now:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_nsupdate -d example.com -d www.example.com

The NSUPDATE_SERVER and NSUPDATE_KEY settings will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

8. Use LuaDNS domain API

Get your API token at https://api.luadns.com/settings

export LUA_Key="sdfsdfsdfljlbjkljlkjsdfoiwje"
export LUA_Email="xxxx@sss.com"

To issue a cert:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_lua -d example.com -d www.example.com

The LUA_Key and LUA_Email will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

9. Use DNSMadeEasy domain API

Get your API credentials at https://cp.dnsmadeeasy.com/account/info

export ME_Key="sdfsdfsdfljlbjkljlkjsdfoiwje"
export ME_Secret="qdfqsdfkjdskfj"

To issue a cert:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_me -d example.com -d www.example.com

The ME_Key and ME_Secret will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

10. Use Amazon Route53 domain API

https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-use-Amazon-Route53-API

export  AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXX
export  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

To issue a cert:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_aws -d example.com -d www.example.com

The AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

11. Use Aliyun domain API to automatically issue cert

First you need to login to your Aliyun account to get your API key. https://ak-console.aliyun.com/#/accesskey

export Ali_Key="sdfsdfsdfljlbjkljlkjsdfoiwje"
export Ali_Secret="jlsdflanljkljlfdsaklkjflsa"

Ok, let's issue a cert now:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ali -d example.com -d www.example.com

The Ali_Key and Ali_Secret will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

12. Use ISPConfig 3.1 API

This only works for ISPConfig 3.1 (and newer).

Create a Remote User in the ISPConfig Control Panel. The Remote User must have access to at least DNS zone functions and DNS txt functions.

export ISPC_User="xxx"
export ISPC_Password="xxx"
export ISPC_Api="https://ispc.domain.tld:8080/remote/json.php"
export ISPC_Api_Insecure=1

If you have installed ISPConfig on a different port, then alter the 8080 accordingly. Leaver ISPC_Api_Insecure set to 1 if you have not a valid ssl cert for your installation. Change it to 0 if you have a valid ssl cert.

To issue a cert:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ispconfig -d example.com -d www.example.com

The ISPC_User, ISPC_Password, ISPC_Apiand ISPC_Api_Insecure will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

13. Use Alwaysdata domain API

First you need to login to your Alwaysdata account to get your API Key.

export AD_API_KEY="myalwaysdataapikey"

Ok, let's issue a cert now:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ad -d example.com -d www.example.com

The AD_API_KEY will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf and will be reused when needed.

14. Use Linode domain API

You will need to install the Linode CLI and set it up accordingly.

https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/linode-cli

Follow the installation instructions appropriate for your platform and then run the configuration.

Make sure Linode CLI is working correctly before proceeding.

Due to the reload time of any changes in the DNS records, we have to use the dnssleep option to wait at least 15 minutes for the changes to take effect.

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_linode --dnssleep 900 -d example.com -d www.example.com

Use custom API

If your API is not supported yet, you can write your own DNS API.

Let's assume you want to name it 'myapi':

1. Create a bash script named ~/.acme.sh/dns_myapi.sh,
2. In the script you must have a function named dns_myapi_add() which will be called by acme.sh to add the DNS records.
3. Then you can use your API to issue cert like this:

acme.sh --issue --dns dns_myapi -d example.com -d www.example.com

For more details, please check our sample script: dns_myapi.sh

Use lexicon DNS API
