Infisical supports connecting to the GoDaddy Certificates API using a GoDaddy API Key and Secret. This connection powers the GoDaddy Certificate Authority for issuing Domain Validated (DV) certificates.
Only production GoDaddy API credentials are supported. GoDaddy’s OTE (test) environment
cannot issue certificates without a provisioned product, so Infisical always targets
api.godaddy.com.
Prerequisites
- A GoDaddy account with API access
- A production API Key and Secret (the first key you create on GoDaddy is an OTE/test key, so create a separate production key)
Create a GoDaddy API Key
Open the GoDaddy developer keys page
Create a production key
Click Create New API Key, give it a name (e.g. infisical), and select Production under Environment. Click Next.Copy both the Key and the Secret. The secret is shown only once.
Create a dedicated API key for Infisical rather than reusing an existing one so you can rotate or
revoke access independently.
Create GoDaddy Connection in Infisical
Navigate to App Connections
In your Infisical dashboard, go to Organization Settings → App Connections.
Select GoDaddy Connection
Click Add Connection and choose GoDaddy from the list of available connections.
Fill out Connection Form
Complete the form with:
- A name for the connection (e.g.
godaddy-prod)
- An optional description
- Your GoDaddy API Key
- Your GoDaddy API Secret
Connection Created
After clicking Create, Infisical validates the credentials against the GoDaddy
Certificates API. Once confirmed, the connection is ready to use in a GoDaddy Certificate
Authority.
To create a GoDaddy Connection, make an API request to the Create GoDaddy Connection API endpoint.Sample request
curl --request POST \
--url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/app-connections/godaddy \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"name": "my-godaddy-connection",
"method": "api-key",
"credentials": {
"apiKey": "<YOUR-GODADDY-API-KEY>",
"apiSecret": "<YOUR-GODADDY-API-SECRET>"
}
}'
