# POST /api/v1/ssl/actions/create-csr

> Generate a certificate signing request (not available)

- Group: ssl
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:hosting
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/ssl/create-csr

## Description

DirectAdmin on these nodes does not return a csr through the API — `type=create` produces a server-generated self-signed certificate instead, and the csr-returning command is not available to this API. Use `request_ssl_certificate` for a free Let's Encrypt certificate, or generate a csr in the DirectAdmin SSL panel.

## Body

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response. Up to 255 characters.

## Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://mcp.inleed.com/api/v1/ssl/actions/create-csr" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer inl_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":"example.se"}'
```
