Hi,
aushack:
Any help? Thanks!
By checking the previous history on the same issue...I don't think there'll be any way to bypass this API check... At least there aren't before. Search results for 'safe browsing' - Let's Encrypt Community Support

Quoting a paragraph from old posts (Not official opinion... but I think it makes sense...)
Let’s Encrypt doesn’t want to issue certificates for hacked and marked phishing domains. At the least, they have a bit of a need to ensure some level of checking. There aren’t a lot of ways to do this. You could use Google’s SafeBrowsing data or a similar service, like the one that is offered by Yandex. SafeBrowsing is generally considered high quality and quick, so it’s a good fit. The only other method is to have real humans review each request, which eliminates the focus of Let’s Encrypt on offering automated and free certificates. Alternately, you could just not offer any kind of quality control, which would likely get you removed from browser trust stores quickly, killing the service.
Although you can't request a certificate from let's encrypt (at least not until your domain are cleared from Google Safe Browsing), you could (might) still get a certificate from commercial CAs...
Thank you
