Create SSL Configuration

custom_certificates.create() -> CustomCertificate

POST/zones/{zone_id}/custom_certificates

Upload a new SSL certificate for a zone.

Security

API Token

The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. Create a token.

Example:Authorization: Bearer Sn3lZJTBX6kkg7OdcBUAxOO963GEIyGQqnFTOFYY

API Email + API Key

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.

Example:X-Auth-Email: user@example.com

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.

Example:X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194

ParametersExpand Collapse

zone_id: str

Identifier.

maxLength32

certificate: str

The zone's SSL certificate or certificate and the intermediate(s).

private_key: str

The zone's private key.

bundle_method: Optional[BundleMethod]

A ubiquitous bundle has the highest probability of being verified everywhere, even by clients using outdated or unusual trust stores. An optimal bundle uses the shortest chain and newest intermediates. And the force bundle verifies the chain, but does not otherwise modify it.

One of the following:

"ubiquitous"

"optimal"

"force"

custom_csr_id: Optional[str]

The identifier for the Custom CSR that was used.

deploy: Optional[Literal["staging", "production"]]

The environment to deploy the certificate to, defaults to production

One of the following:

"staging"

"production"

geo_restrictions: Optional[GeoRestrictionsParam]

Specify the region where your private key can be held locally for optimal TLS performance. HTTPS connections to any excluded data center will still be fully encrypted, but will incur some latency while Keyless SSL is used to complete the handshake with the nearest allowed data center. Options allow distribution to only to U.S. data centers, only to E.U. data centers, or only to highest security data centers. Default distribution is to all Cloudflare datacenters, for optimal performance.

label: Optional[Literal["us", "eu", "highest_security"]]

One of the following:

"us"

"eu"

"highest_security"

policy: Optional[str]

Specify the policy that determines the region where your private key will be held locally. HTTPS connections to any excluded data center will still be fully encrypted, but will incur some latency while Keyless SSL is used to complete the handshake with the nearest allowed data center. Any combination of countries, specified by their two letter country code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements) can be chosen, such as 'country: IN', as well as 'region: EU' which refers to the EU region. If there are too few data centers satisfying the policy, it will be rejected. Note: The API accepts this field as either "policy" or "policy_restrictions" in requests. Responses return this field as "policy_restrictions".

type: Optional[Literal["legacy_custom", "sni_custom"]]

The type 'legacy_custom' enables support for legacy clients which do not include SNI in the TLS handshake.

One of the following:

"legacy_custom"

"sni_custom"

ReturnsExpand Collapse

class CustomCertificate: …

id: str

Identifier.

maxLength32

zone_id: str

Identifier.

maxLength32

bundle_method: Optional[BundleMethod]

One of the following:

"ubiquitous"

"optimal"

"force"

custom_csr_id: Optional[str]

The identifier for the Custom CSR that was used.

expires_on: Optional[datetime]

When the certificate from the authority expires.

formatdate-time

geo_restrictions: Optional[GeoRestrictions]

label: Optional[Literal["us", "eu", "highest_security"]]

One of the following:

"us"

"eu"

"highest_security"

hosts: Optional[List[str]]

issuer: Optional[str]

The certificate authority that issued the certificate.

keyless_server: Optional[KeylessCertificate]

id: str

Keyless certificate identifier tag.

maxLength32

created_on: datetime

When the Keyless SSL was created.

formatdate-time

enabled: bool

Whether or not the Keyless SSL is on or off.

host: str

The keyless SSL name.

formathostname

maxLength253

modified_on: datetime

When the Keyless SSL was last modified.

formatdate-time

name: str

The keyless SSL name.

maxLength180

permissions: List[str]

Available permissions for the Keyless SSL for the current user requesting the item.

port: float

The keyless SSL port used to communicate between Cloudflare and the client's Keyless SSL server.

maxLength65535

status: Literal["active", "deleted"]

Status of the Keyless SSL.

One of the following:

"active"

"deleted"

tunnel: Optional[Tunnel]

Configuration for using Keyless SSL through a Cloudflare Tunnel

private_ip: str

Private IP of the Key Server Host

vnet_id: str

Cloudflare Tunnel Virtual Network ID

modified_on: Optional[datetime]

When the certificate was last modified.

formatdate-time

policy_restrictions: Optional[str]

The policy restrictions returned by the API. This field is returned in responses when a policy has been set. The API accepts the "policy" field in requests but returns this field as "policy_restrictions" in responses.

Specifies the region(s) where your private key can be held locally for optimal TLS performance. Format is a boolean expression, for example: "(country: US) or (region: EU)"

priority: Optional[float]

The order/priority in which the certificate will be used in a request. The higher priority will break ties across overlapping 'legacy_custom' certificates, but 'legacy_custom' certificates will always supercede 'sni_custom' certificates.

signature: Optional[str]

The type of hash used for the certificate.

status: Optional[Literal["active", "expired", "deleted", 2 more]]

Status of the zone's custom SSL.

One of the following:

"active"

"expired"

"deleted"

"pending"

"initializing"

uploaded_on: Optional[datetime]

When the certificate was uploaded to Cloudflare.

formatdate-time
