how to automate subdomain security checks without complex scripts

the problem

manually scanning subdomains for misconfigurations, exposed endpoints, or outdated services is tedious and error-prone. you might miss vulnerabilities that could expose your infrastructure.

the solution

using the subdomain-exposure-rankings api, you can automate comprehensive subdomain enumeration and assessment. for example, a quick check:

curl -s https://subdomain-exposure-rankings.apimesh.xyz/check?domain=example.com


this returns a JSON object with assessed subdomains, their exposure status, and risk levels. right now, you'll see data like:


{
  "subdomain": "test.example.com",
  "exposed_endpoints": ["admin", "api"],
  "misconfigurations": ["ssl outdated"],
  "risk_level": "high"
}


## how it works
the api performs exhaustive enumeration by querying free dns data and certificate transparency logs. it then cross-references target subdomains for common misconfigurations, exposed endpoints, or outdated services. all in a streamlined request.

## try it
full access is just a few cents per check. for a free preview, visit https://subdomain-exposure-rankings.apimesh.xyz/preview.

your subdomain security audits just became simpler, faster, and more reliable.
