CertCentral Services API: New Unit order details and Cancel unit order endpoints
We are happy to announce we added two new endpoints to the CertCentral Services API: Unit order details and Cancel unit order.
These endpoints allow you to get information about a unit order and to cancel a unit order.
Canceling unit orders:
- You can only cancel an order within thirty days of placing it.
- You cannot cancel a unit order if the subaccount on the order has spent any of the units.
If you manage a subaccount that uses units as its payment method, you can now use the Services API to do the following tasks:
CertCentral Services API: Improved Product list, Product limits, and Product info endpoints
To make it easier to find the available order validity periods for the digital certificate products in your account, we added new response parameters to the Product list, Product limits, and Product info endpoints.
These new response parameters allow you to view the default and customized order validity limits for each product in your account.
The allowed_order_validity_years parameter returns a list of the supported order validity periods for each product in your account.
The allowed_order_lifetimes parameter returns a list of the customized order validity limits for users with different division and user role assignments in your account.
- The
allowed_order_validity_yearsparameter returns a list of the order validity periods that are available when you request the certificate product. - The
custom_order_expiration_date_allowedparameter returns a boolean value that describes whether you can set a custom order expiration date when you request the certificate product.
CertCentral Services API: Improved Subaccount order info endpoint
To make it easier to find information about the validity periods for subaccount orders, we added new response parameters to the Subaccount order info endpoint. These new response parameters allow you to see the order start date, the order end date, and whether the order is a Multi-year Plan.
- The
is_multi_year_planparameter returns"1"if the order is a Multi-year Plan. - The
order_valid_fromparameter returns the start date of the order validity period. - The
order_valid_tillparameter returns the end date of the order validity period.

CertCentral Orders page: Improved load times
In CertCentral, we updated the Orders page to improve load times for those managing high volumes of certificate orders. The next time you visit the Orders page, it will open much quicker (in the left main menu go to Certificates > Orders).
To improve load times, we changed the way we filter your certificate orders upon initial page view. Previously, we filtered the page to show only Active certificate orders. However, this was problematic for those with high volumes of certificate orders. The more orders you have in your account, the longer the Orders page took to open.
Now, when you visit the page, we return all your certificates, unfiltered, in descending order with the most recently created certificate orders appearing first in the list. To see only your active certificates, in the Status dropdown, select Active and click Go.
CertCentral Services API: Purchase units for subaccounts and view unit orders
In the CertCentral Services API, we've added new endpoints for purchasing units and viewing unit orders. Now, if you manage subaccounts that use units as the payment method for certificate requests, you can use the Services API to buy more units for a subaccount and to get information about your unit order history.
