Checking a certificate status

You can use the 'certificaterequests' function to show the CA Account approval status. DevOpsACCELERATE reports one of the following statuses:

  • NEW: The request was received and saved from the end user.
  • PENDING: The request was successfully submitted to the CA account.
  • REQUESTED: The CA account acknowledged the receipt of the certificate request.
  • ISSUED: The CA account successfully issued the certificate.
  • REJECTED: The CA account rejected the certificate request.
  • CANCELLED: The certificate request was canceled.

To check a certificate status

  1. If you have not already done so, obtain an API key.

  2. To get the certificate id, use the JSON response from a certificatesearch or certificateinstancesearch function. For example: 

    {
    "certificates": [
        {
            "id": "59f782d0-2637-11e8-9c27-854639d34df0",
            ...
        }
    ]
}

  3. Use the certificaterequests function and the certificate id. For additional help, use the parameter descriptions from our screenshotdocumentation. For example:

    GET https://api.venafi.cloud/v1/certificaterequests/31287720-33a7-11e7-a46e-833a67045926
tppl-api-key: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

  4. In the JSON response, review the Status field. For example: 

    HTTP 1.1 OK
