Overview

Keyfactor exposes two APIs for external use:

• The Keyfactor API A set of functions to allow creation of applications. Keyfactor offers the Keyfactor API, which allows third-party software to integrate with the advanced certificate enrollment and management features of Keyfactor Command. was introduced in Keyfactor Command version 6.1 and is the newer API. Customers should be using this API in all cases.
• The Classic API will be deprecated in Keyfactor Command version 11. All existing uses of the Classic API should be migrated to use the Keyfactor API prior to upgrading to Keyfactor Command version 11. If these applications cannot be updated to the newer endpoints then the Allow Deprecate API Calls setting must be set to False (see Application Settings: API Tab in the Keyfactor Command Reference Guide). Otherwise, Keyfactor recommends that these endpoints be disabled to reduce exposure to unauthorized or unintended use.
