Request certificate issuance

POST

/domains/{domain}/ssl/issue

const url = 'https://api.nsin.cloud/domains/example.com/ssl/issue';
const options = {method: 'POST', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.nsin.cloud/domains/example.com/ssl/issue \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Starts an ACME order for the domain. Allowed only when SSL is currently missing or failed — certificates are otherwise issued and renewed automatically. Not available for dns_mode: external domains.

Issuance is asynchronous: this returns immediately with status: "pending"; poll GET /domains/{domain}/ssl/ for the outcome. Manual attempts are rate-limited per domain — GET /ssl/ reports can_manual_issue and next_manual_issue_at. Requires ssl.manage.

400

The domain uses external DNS, or SSL is not in a state where a manual issue is allowed.

application/json

The error shape used by every endpoint. error is always present. code is present only on the failures that have one — do not require it, and do not parse error to recover it.

object

error

required

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

string

code

Stable machine-readable reason. Present on some failures only; the wording of error may change, this will not.

account_suspended — 403. The account behind the credential has been switched off, by an admin or by its provider. Every authenticated route answers this, so treat it as terminal rather than retrying.
domain_disabled — 409, not 403. You have every right to the operation; the domain is simply switched off and is not being served, so its configuration cannot change. It stays readable, and writes work again once it is enabled.
managed_by_reseller — 403. The account is a reseller’s client and this surface belongs to its provider. See If your account is managed by a reseller.
invite_email_mismatch — 403 from POST /invites/{token}/accept. The invitation was addressed to a different email; the body also carries invited_email, masked.

A panel session — not an API key — can additionally see session_check_failed on a 503, which means the session could not be verified, not that it is invalid. Retry it; do not discard the token.

string

Example

{
  "error": "read-only API key"
}

401

Missing, malformed, revoked or expired API key, or a key whose owning user row is gone. A key whose owning account has merely been deactivated is not this: that is 403 with code: account_suspended, because the credential itself is intact and re-issuing it changes nothing.

}

403

The key is read-only, your role on the domain lacks the required permission, the domain’s plan does not include the feature, or the account that owns the key has been deactivated — that last one carries code: account_suspended and can arrive on any endpoint, including ones that document no 403 of their own.
