A Quick Guide to Setting Up ACME API Integration with Peeringhub.io

 


⚙️ Simplifying Compliance Through Automation

For telecom providers, managing STIR/SHAKEN certificates is crucial to ensuring FCC compliance, caller authentication, and customer trust. But as networks grow and operations scale, manually generating and renewing certificates can quickly become a time-consuming task.

That’s where ACME API integration comes in — a powerful automation protocol that allows your telecom infrastructure to communicate directly with Peeringhub.io’s CA platform, generating and renewing certificates automatically.

If you’re ready to eliminate manual steps and bring speed, consistency, and reliability to your compliance process, here’s your quick guide to setting up ACME API integration with Peeringhub.io.

🌐 What Is the ACME Protocol?

ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) is an open protocol designed to simplify and automate the process of issuing and managing digital certificates. Originally developed by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG), it allows systems to communicate securely with Certificate Authorities (CAs) — like Peeringhub.io — to request, validate, and install certificates without manual intervention.

For telecom operators, this means:

  • No more manual certificate renewals

  • No downtime caused by expired certificates

  • Seamless integration with your VoIP or softswitch environment

  • Instant access to new or updated certificates

🚀 Step-by-Step: Setting Up ACME API Integration

Let’s walk through how you can set up your ACME connection with Peeringhub.io in just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Generate Your ACME Account Key

Start by creating your ACME account key using your telecom system or API client. This key is used to securely identify your system to Peeringhub’s CA.

Step 2: Register Your Account with Peeringhub.io

Log into your Peeringhub.io dashboard and navigate to the ACME Integration section. Here, you’ll link your ACME account key with your Peeringhub account to establish secure communication.

Step 3: Configure Your API Client

Use any compatible ACME client such as Certbot, acme.sh, or your internal telecom automation tool. Point it to Peeringhub.io’s ACME directory URL (provided in your dashboard).

Step 4: Request Your First Certificate

Once connected, send a certificate request from your ACME client. Peeringhub.io will automatically verify your credentials and issue your STIR/SHAKEN certificate within seconds.

Step 5: Automate Renewal and Monitoring

Enable automatic renewals in your ACME configuration so certificates refresh before expiration — ensuring uninterrupted authentication for all calls.

🔒 How Peeringhub.io Makes ACME Integration Smarter

While many CAs offer basic ACME endpoints, Peeringhub.io takes it a step further with telecom-optimized automation:

  • Multi-tenant management for enterprises handling multiple networks

  • Advanced monitoring dashboards for tracking certificate status and renewal performance
