How to create free SSL Certificates for our websites

Documentation
To create a free certificate, first you need to go to ZeroSSL and create a free account.
Each user account is assigned a unique API access key, which must be passed to the API using a simple HTTP GET request parameter called access_key. You will find your API access key in the Developer section of your ZeroSSL management console.
You can find an example URL carrying an API access key below:
api.zerossl.com/example_endpoint?access_key=EXAMPLE_KEY
After that, follow the steps in the official documentation to learn how to manage your certificate.
