Keys remain on your infrastructure. ##### Security API Token The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. [Create a token](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/create-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` ##### Accepted Permissions (at least one required) `SSL and Certificates Write` ##### ParametersExpand Collapse params: KeylessCertificateCreateParams { zone\_id, certificate, host, 4 more } zone\_id: string Path param: Identifier. maxLength32 certificate: string Body param: The zone’s SSL certificate or SSL certificate and intermediate(s). host: string Body param: The keyless SSL name. formathostname maxLength253 port: number Body param: The keyless SSL port used to communicate between Cloudflare and the client’s Keyless SSL server. maxLength65535 bundle\_method?: [BundleMethod](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/typescript/resources/custom%5Fhostnames#%28resource%29%20custom%5Fhostnames%20%3E%20%28model%29%20bundle%5Fmethod%20%3E%20%28schema%29) Body param: A ubiquitous bundle has the highest probability of being verified everywhere, even by clients using outdated or unusual trust stores.
