--- title: Create Keyless SSL Configuration --- [Skip to content](#_top) [API Reference](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/python) [Keyless Certificates](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/python/resources/keyless_certificates) Copy Markdown Open in **Claude**Open in **ChatGPT**Open in **Cursor** --- **Copy Markdown****View as Markdown** # Create Keyless SSL Configuration keyless\_certificates.create(KeylessCertificateCreateParams\*\*kwargs) -> [KeylessCertificate]() POST/zones/{zone\_id}/keyless\_certificates Creates a Keyless SSL configuration that allows SSL/TLS termination without exposing private keys to Cloudflare. Keys remain on your infrastructure. ##### Security
API Token The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. Create a token. **Example:**Authorization: Bearer Sn3lZJTBX6kkg7OdcBUAxOO963GEIyGQqnFTOFYY
API Email + API Key The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key. **Example:**X-Auth-Email: user@example.com The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys. **Example:**X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194
