API access
The DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager REST API exposes endpoints for:
Certificate lifecycle management: enrollment, discovery, automation, and reporting.
PKI services: public and private certificate issuance for users, devices, servers, and other IT resources.
Note
Both service users and regular users can access the Trust Lifecycle Manager API service. However, DigiCert recommends limiting API access to service users, as it helps track and regulate API requests.
