Ask HN: Other CA with API, similar to Lets Encrypt?

1 pointsby prohorover 8 years ago
Hi, We started to use Lets Encrypt for automatic certificate generation. Unfortunately we start to get close to rate limits [1], so we requested an increase. Apparently our use case isn&#x27;t eligible for increased limits, as it wasn&#x27;t approved (no response, so not declined either). So we started to look for an alternative.<p>Do you know other CA that provide API for certificate requests? It can be paid. The API doesn&#x27;t need to be compatible with Lets Encrypt, but it would be nice.<p>Thank you!<p>1. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;letsencrypt.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;rate-limits&#x2F;

ACME (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Automated_Certificate_Management_Environment" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Automated_Certificate_Manageme...</a>) is still new, I don&#x27;t believe any other certified CA implements it.<p>What is your use case? Maybe there&#x27;s a better way.

Can I suggest that perhaps you could just start using alternative domains to avoid the rate limit?<p>Edit: also, how long since you requested the increase? They say it takes a few weeks.
