# JavaScript API
<!--
<details>
<summary>Greenlock API (shared among JS implementations)</summary>
-->
<details>
<summary>Greenlock.create({ packageAgent, maintainerEmail, staging })</summary>
## Greenlock.create()
Creates an instance of greenlock with _environment_-level values.
```js
var pkg = require('./package.json');
var gl = Greenlock.create({
// Staging for testing environments
staging: true,
// This should be the contact who receives critical bug and security notifications
// Optionally, you may receive other (very few) updates, such as important new features
maintainerEmail: 'jon@example.com',
// for an RFC 8555 / RFC 7231 ACME client user agent
packageAgent: pkg.name + '/' pkg.version
});
```
| Parameter | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| maintainerEmail | the developer contact for critical bug and security notifications |
| packageAgent | if you publish your package for others to use, `require('./package.json').name` here |
| staging | use the Let's Encrypt staging URL instead of the production URL |
| directoryUrl | for use with other (not Let's Encrypt) ACME services, and the Pebble test server |
<!--
| maintainerUpdates | (default: false) receive occasional non-critical notifications |
maintainerUpdates: true // default: false
-->
</details>
<details>
<summary>Greenlock#manager.defaults()</summary>
## Greenlock#manager.defaults()
Acts as a getter when given no arguments.
Otherwise sets default, site-wide values as described below.
```js
greenlock.manager.defaults({
// The "Let's Encrypt Subscriber" (often the same as the maintainer)
// NOT the end customer (except where that is also the maintainer)
subscriberEmail: 'jon@example.com',
agreeToTerms: true
challenges: {
"http-01": {
module: "acme-http-01-webroot",
webroot: "/path/to/webroot"
}
}
});
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| agreeToTerms | (default: false) either 'true' or a function that presents the Terms of Service and returns it once accepted |
| challenges['http-01'] | provide an http-01 challenge module |
| challenges['dns-01'] | provide a dns-01 challenge module |
| challenges['tls-alpn-01'] | provide a tls-alpn-01 challenge module |
| challenges[type].module | the name of your challenge module |
| challenges[type].xxxx | module-specific options |
| servername | the default servername to use for non-sni requests (many IoT clients) |
| subscriberEmail | the contact who agrees to the Let's Encrypt Subscriber Agreement and the Greenlock Terms of Service<br>this contact receives renewal failure notifications |
| store | override the default storage module |
| store.module | the name of your storage module |
| store.xxxx | options specific to your storage module |
<!--
| serverId | an arbitrary name to distinguish this server within a cluster of servers |
-->
</details>
<details>
<summary>Greenlock#add({ subject, altnames })</summary>
## Greenlock#add()
Greenlock is a **Management Environment**.
Once you add a "site", it will begin to automatically renew, immediately.
The certificates will provided to the `store` callbacks as soon as they are ready, and whenever they renew.
Failure to renew will be reported to the `notify` callback.
You can also retrieve them one-off with `get`.
```js
gl.add({
subject: 'example.com',
altnames: ['example.com', 'www.example.com', 'exampleapi.com']
});
```
| Parameter | Description |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| subject | the first domain on, and identifier of the certificate |
| altnames | first domain, plus additional domains<br>note: the order should always be the same |
| subscriberEmail | if different from the default (i.e. multi-tenant, whitelabel) |
| challenges | (same as main config) use if this site needs to use non-default http-01 or dns-01 validation |
</details>
<details>
<summary>Greenlock#get({ servername })</summary>
## Greenlock#get()
**Disclaimer**: This is only intended for testing, demos, and SNICallback
(in [Greenlock Express](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js)).
Greenlock is intended to be left running to allow it to fetech and renew certifictates automatically.
It is intended that you use the `store` callbacks to new certificates instantly as soon as they renew.
This also protects you from accidentally stampeding the Let's Encrypt API with hundreds (or thousands)
of certificate requests.
- [Store Callback Documentation](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-store-test.js)
```js
return greenlock.get({ servername }).then(function(site) {
if (!site) {
console.log(servername + ' was not found in any site config');
return;
}
var privkey = site.pems.privkey;
var fullchain = site.pems.cert + '\n' + site.pems.chain + '\n';
console.log(privkey);
console.log(fullchain);
});
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| servername | any altname listed on the certificate (including the subject) |
</details>
<details>
<summary>Greenlock#renew({ renewBefore })</summary>
## Greenlock#renew()
This will renew only domains that have reached their `renewAt` or are within the befault `renewOffset`.
**Note**: This runs at regular intervals, multiple times a day, in the background.
You are not required to call it. If you implement the `store` callbacks, the certificates
will automatically be saved (and if you don't implement them, they all get saved to disk).
```js
return greenlock.renew({}).then(function(results) {
results.forEach(function(site) {
if (site.error) {
console.error(site.subject, site.error);
return;
}
console.log('Renewed certificate for', site.subject, site.altnames);
});
});
```

# HTTP-01 &amp; DNS-01 Integrations
For Public Web Servers running on a VPS, the **default HTTP-01 challenge plugin**
will work just fine for most people.
However, for
- **Wildcard Certificates**
- **IoT Environments**
- **Enterprise On-Prem**
- **Private Networks**
Greenlock provides an easy way to integrate Let's Encrypt with your existing services
through a variety of **DNS-01** infrastructure
Why
Typically file propagation is faster and more reliably than DNS propagation.
Therefore, http-01 will be preferred to dns-01 except when wildcards or **private domains** are in use.
http-01 will only be supplied as a defaut if no other challenge is provided.
You can use ACME (Let's Encrypt) with several ready-made integrations
# Ready-made Integrations
Greenlock Express integrates between Let's Encrypt's ACME Challenges and many popular services.
