# How to use dns api

## Use CloudFlare domain api to automatically issue cert

For now, we support clourflare integeration.

First you need to login to your clourflare account to get your api key.

```
export CF_Key="sdfsdfsdfljlbjkljlkjsdfoiwje"

export CF_Email="xxxx@sss.com"

```

Ok, let's issue cert now:
```
acme.sh   --issue   --dns dns_cf   -d example.com  -d www.example.com
```

The `CF_Key` and `CF_Email`  will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf`, when next time you use cloudflare api, it will reuse this key.

## Use OVH/kimsufi/soyoustart/runabove API

# Use custom api

If your api is not supported yet,  you can write your own dns api.

Let's assume you want to name it 'myapi',

1. Create a bash script named  `~/.acme.sh/dns_myapi.sh`,
2. In the script, you must have a function named `dns_myapi_add()`. Which will be called by acme.sh to add dns records.
3. Then you can use your api to issue cert like:

```
acme.sh  --issue  --dns  dns_myapi  -d example.com  -d www.example.com
```

For more details, please check our sample script: [dns_myapi.sh](dns_myapi.sh)
