https://doc.powerdns.com/md/httpapi/README/

```
export PDNS_Url="http://ns.example.com:8081"

## 6. Use OVH/kimsufi/soyoustart/runabove API to automatically issue cert

https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-use-OVH-domain-api


## 7. Use nsupdate to automatically issue cert

First, generate a key for updating the zone
```
b=$(dnssec-keygen -a hmac-sha512 -b 512 -n USER -K /tmp foo)
cat > /etc/named/keys/update.key <<EOF
key "update" {
    algorithm hmac-sha512;
    secret "$(awk '/^Key/{print $2}' /tmp/$b.private)";
};
EOF
rm -f /tmp/$b.{private,key}
```

Include this key in your named configuration
```
include "/etc/named/keys/update.key";
```

Next, configure your zone to allow dynamic updates.

Depending on your named version, use either
```
zone "example.com" {
    type master;
    allow-update { key "update"; };
};
```
or
```
zone "example.com" {
    type master;
    update-policy {
        grant update subdomain example.com.;
    };
}
```

Finally, make the DNS server and update Key available to `acme.sh`

```
export NSUPDATE_SERVER="dns.example.com"
export NSUPDATE_KEY="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=="
```

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

The `NSUPDATE_SERVER` and `NSUPDATE_KEY` settings will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and will be reused when needed.

## 12. Use ISPConfig 3.1 API

This only works for ISPConfig 3.1 (and newer).

Create a Remote User in the ISPConfig Control Panel. The Remote User must have access to at least `DNS zone functions` and `DNS txt functions`.

```
export ISPC_User="xxx"
export ISPC_Password="xxx"
export ISPC_Api="https://ispc.domain.tld:8080/remote/json.php"
export ISPC_Api_Insecure=1
```
If you have installed ISPConfig on a different port, then alter the 8080 accordingly.
Leaver ISPC_Api_Insecure set to 1 if you have not a valid ssl cert for your installation. Change it to 0 if you have a valid ssl cert.

To issue a cert:
```
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ispconfig -d example.com -d www.example.com
```

The `ISPC_User`, `ISPC_Password`, `ISPC_Api`and `ISPC_Api_Insecure` will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and will be reused when needed.

## 13. Use Alwaysdata domain API

First you need to login to your Alwaysdata account to get your API Key.

```sh
export AD_API_KEY="myalwaysdataapikey"
```

Ok, let's issue a cert now:

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

The `AD_API_KEY` will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and will be reused
when needed.

# 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 the DNS records.
3. Then you can use your API to issue cert like this:

```
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)
