+## 41. Use DirectAdmin API
+The DirectAdmin interface has it's own Let's encrypt functionality, but this
+script can be used to generate certificates for names which are not hosted on
+DirectAdmin
+
+User must provide login data and URL to the DirectAdmin incl. port.
+You can create an user which only has access to
+
+- CMD_API_DNS_CONTROL
+- CMD_API_SHOW_DOMAINS
+
+By using the Login Keys function.

+```
+export DA_Api="https://remoteUser:remotePassword@da.domain.tld:8443"
+export DA_Api_Insecure=1
+```
+Set `DA_Api_Insecure` to 1 for insecure and 0 for secure -> difference is whether ssl cert is checked for validity (0) or whether it is just accepted (1)
+
+Ok, let's issue a cert now:
+```
+acme.sh --issue --dns dns_da -d example.com -d www.example.com
+```
+
+The `DA_Api` and `DA_Api_Insecure` will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and will be reused when needed.

 # Use custom API
 
 If your API is not supported yet, you can write your own DNS API.
