🧩 Why ACME API Integration Matters
As the FCC tightens enforcement around STIR/SHAKEN, telecom companies are looking for smarter, automated solutions to handle caller identity verification. Manual certificate generation is outdated, time-consuming, and prone to error — especially in high-volume environments like VoIP providers, CLECs, and UCaaS platforms.
This is where Peeringhub.io’s ACME API steps in:
✔️ Scalable
✔️ Secure
✔️ Self-managed
✔️ Easy to plug into any workflow
If your systems already issue or sign calls, you can automate STIR/SHAKEN certificate requests and management in real time using Peeringhub’s ACME-compatible API.
⚙️ What Is the ACME Protocol?
ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) is a protocol originally designed to automate interactions between Certificate Authorities (CAs) and web servers for the purpose of issuing SSL certificates.
Peeringhub.io has adapted ACME for telecom — enabling you to programmatically request and renew STIR/SHAKEN certificates via API endpoints instead of using a manual UI.
🛠️ How to Integrate Peeringhub’s ACME API
Step 1: Get API Access
Once signed up on Peeringhub.io, navigate to the Developer Dashboard and generate your API credentials.
Step 2: Configure Your Client
Use any ACME-compatible client, or implement the REST endpoints into your platform. Peeringhub provides support for:
Linux Clients
Python Libraries
Custom CI/CD or SIP integrations
Step 3: Automate Certificate Requests
Trigger real-time requests to generate, renew, or revoke STIR/SHAKEN certificates directly from your platform. Ideal for:
VoIP Softswitches
SIP Application Servers
Call Origination Platforms
Step 4: Monitor & Audit
Use the dashboard to view issued certs, status, and expiry dates. Fully auditable logs ensure FCC compliance and fraud mitigation.
🔄 Where the ACME API Fits in Your Workflow
📤 Before Call Initiation Your platform can request a fresh STIR/SHAKEN cert before placing a call.
🔗 During Session Control SIP headers can include authentication tokens signed with the ACME certs — automatically handled by your server.
🔁 After Calls Complete Revoke, renew, or rotate certs as needed without human intervention.
✅ Benefits of Using Peeringhub’s ACME API
🚀 Speed & Automation Trigger cert issuance in seconds, not hours.
🔒 Security Each certificate is cryptographically signed and traceable.
⚙️ Developer-Friendly RESTful design with full documentation and integration support.
📈 Scale-Ready Handle hundreds of certs across multiple systems, locations, or customers.
🧠 Use Case: A UCaaS Platform
A cloud UCaaS provider with multiple clusters uses Peeringhub’s ACME API to:
Dynamically request STIR/SHAKEN certs per customer tenant
Inject verified identity headers into SIP INVITE
Automatically renew certs monthly without downtime
Result: Compliance met, trust restored, and time saved.
