# GoDaddy connection

> Learn how to configure a GoDaddy connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports connecting to the [GoDaddy Certificates API](https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/certificates) using a **GoDaddy API Key and Secret**. This connection powers the [GoDaddy Certificate Authority](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/pki/ca/godaddy.md) for issuing Domain Validated (DV) certificates.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only **production** GoDaddy API credentials are supported. GoDaddy's OTE (test) environment
> can't issue certificates without a provisioned product, so Infisical always targets
> `api.godaddy.com`.

## 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

**1. Open the GoDaddy developer keys page**

Sign in to your GoDaddy account and go to [developer.godaddy.com/keys](https://developer.godaddy.com/keys).

**2. Create a production key**

Select **Create New API Key**, give it a name (e.g. `infisical`), and select **Production** under **Environment**. Select **Next**.

Copy both the **Key** and the **Secret**. The secret is shown only once.

> [!TIP]
>
> Create a dedicated API key for Infisical rather than reusing an existing one so you can rotate or
> revoke access independently.

> Authority.
