Seamless Integration: How to Use Peeringhub.io’s ACME API in Your Existing Workflow

 


🧩 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 Manual certificate generation is outdated, time-consuming, and prone to error — especially in high-volume environments like VoIP providers, CLECs, and UCaaS platforms.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.
