# GoDaddy Connection

> Learn how to configure a GoDaddy connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports connecting to the [GoDaddy Certificates API](https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/certificates) using a **GoDaddy API Key and Secret**. This connection powers the [GoDaddy Certificate Authority](/documentation/platform/pki/ca/godaddy) for issuing Domain Validated (DV) certificates.

<Note>
  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`.
</Note>

## 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the GoDaddy developer keys page">
    Sign in to your GoDaddy account and go to [developer.godaddy.com/keys](https://developer.godaddy.com/keys).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Create a dedicated API key for Infisical rather than reusing an existing one so you can rotate or
  revoke access independently.
</Tip>

      </Step>

      <Step title="Select GoDaddy Connection">
        Click **Add Connection** and choose **GoDaddy** from the list of available connections.
      </Step>

      <Step title="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**
      </Step>

      <Step title="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.
      </Step>
