how to automate ssl/tls configuration checks without breaking a sweat

the problem

managing ssl/tls configurations across multiple servers is tedious and error-prone. manual checks miss expired certificates, weak protocols, or outdated ciphers, risking security and downtime.

the solution

meet the ssl-tls-configuration-forecast api. it aggregates ssl/tls details from public scans and dns records, forecasts when certificates will expire, and evaluates support for protocols and cipher strength. it helps you spot issues early.

example request:



curl https://ssl-tls-configuration-forecast.apimesh.xyz/check


**sample output shape:**


{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "protocols": ["TLS 1.2", "TLS 1.3"],
  "ciphers": ["ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384", "ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256"],
  "certificate_expiry": "2024-03-15",
  "status": "secure"
}


## how it works
it pulls data from public scans and dns records, analyzes protocols, ciphers, and certs, then predicts expiry dates based on current info. it’s like a health check for your ssl/tls setup, available via simple HTTP calls.

## try it out
test the api with our free preview, no keys needed. for full access, it’s just $0.005 per call. start automating your ssl/tls management now.
