# Pages domains API **(FREE)**

Endpoints for connecting custom domains and TLS certificates in [GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/).

The GitLab Pages feature must be enabled to use these endpoints. Find out more about [administering](../administration/pages/index.md) and [using](../user/project/pages/index.md) the feature.

| `certificate`      | file/string    | no       | The certificate in PEM format with intermediates following in most specific to least specific order.|
| `key`              | file/string    | no       | The certificate key in PEM format.       |

Create a new Pages domain with a certificate from a `.pem` file:

```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
     --form "domain=ssl.domain.example" --form "certificate=@/path/to/cert.pem" \
     --form "key=@/path/to/key.pem" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains"
```

Create a new Pages domain by using a variable containing the certificate:

```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
     --form "domain=ssl.domain.example" --form "certificate=$CERT_PEM" \
     --form "key=$KEY_PEM" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains"
```

Create a new Pages domain with an [automatic certificate](../user/project/pages/custom_domains_ssl_tls_certification/lets_encrypt_integration.md#enabling-lets-encrypt-integration-for-your-custom-domain):

```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "domain=ssl.domain.example" \
     --form "auto_ssl_enabled=true" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains"
```

```json
{
  "domain": "ssl.domain.example",
  "url": "https://ssl.domain.example",
  "auto_ssl_enabled": true,
  "certificate": {
    "subject": "/O=Example, Inc./OU=Example Origin CA/CN=Example Origin Certificate",
    "expired": false,
    "certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n … \n-----END CERTIFICATE-----",
    "certificate_text": "Certificate:\n … \n"
  }
}
```

### Adding certificate

Add a certificate for a Pages domain from a `.pem` file:

```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "certificate=@/path/to/cert.pem" \
     --form "key=@/path/to/key.pem" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains/ssl.domain.example"
```

Add a certificate for a Pages domain by using a variable containing the certificate:

```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "certificate=$CERT_PEM" \
     --form "key=$KEY_PEM" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains/ssl.domain.example"
```

```json
{
  "domain": "ssl.domain.example",
  "url": "https://ssl.domain.example",
  "auto_ssl_enabled": false,
  "certificate": {
    "subject": "/O=Example, Inc./OU=Example Origin CA/CN=Example Origin Certificate",
    "expired": false,
    "certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n … \n-----END CERTIFICATE-----",
    "certificate_text": "Certificate:\n … \n"
  }
}
```

### Enabling Let's Encrypt integration for Pages custom domains

```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
     --form "auto_ssl_enabled=true" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains/ssl.domain.example"
```

```json
{
  "domain": "ssl.domain.example",
  "url": "https://ssl.domain.example",
  "auto_ssl_enabled": true
}
```

### Removing certificate

To remove the SSL certificate attached to the Pages domain, run:

```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "certificate=" \
     --form "key=" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains/ssl.domain.example"
```

```json
{
  "domain": "ssl.domain.example",
  "url": "https://ssl.domain.example",
  "auto_ssl_enabled": false
}
```

## Delete Pages domain
