GoDaddy Connection - Infisical

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.

<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>
