    if (err)

I just tried your code above from within a browser (Chrome 61) and it successfully listed the certificates and create new ones. So don't think the issue is with your code.

Maybe try ensuring the clock is correct on the machine your making the request from. I've see some AWS request fail due to the clock being off by a few minutes. They might also use the time in the request to generate the expiration date on the certificate.
