Trouble updating certificate with using GoDaddy DNS

[dmorda]

I've been updating certificates using ACME and GoDaddy flawlessly for quite some time. Recently on multiple clients sites where I do this with GoDaddy, things aren't updating anymore. I use the GoDaddy API Key and API Secret method in the configuration.

When I inspect the logs, it shows the following:

[Sun May 19 08:17:09 EDT 2024] Http already initialized.
[Sun May 19 08:17:09 EDT 2024] _CURL='curl --silent --dump-header /tmp/acme/my.domain.com/http.header  -L  -g '
[Sun May 19 08:17:09 EDT 2024] ret='0'
[Sun May 19 08:17:09 EDT 2024] response='{"code":"ACCESS_DENIED","message":"Authenticated user is not allowed access"}'

Any ideas the problem might be? This also seems to be affecting my Dynamic DNS configuration updates as well when the IP address for the WAN changes.

@dmorda Yeah. I ran into the same issue. Then, I learned GoDaddy changed their policy regarding use of the API. You need a minimum of 10 domains with them to have access.

@juanzelli Thanks for sharing that...I've moved all DNS over to Cloudflare.

@dmorda I also had problems renewing with Godaddy API and the only solution I found was moving to Cloudflare where renewals are working perfectly.
