The command displays a certificate chain and private key and saves their contents to the --chain and --key files, respectively.

--id: Certificate ID, make sure you set either the --id or --name flag.

--chain: (Optional) File to save the certificate chain to in PEM format.

To get the certificate contents, use the getContent method for the Certificate resource.
