how to quickly find exposed subdomains and misconfigurations with a simple api

the problem

manually scanning for exposed subdomains is time-consuming and error-prone. outdated services, misconfigured endpoints, and sensitive info can slip through. without proper tools, maintaining security is a hassle.

the solution

use the subdomain-exposure-ranking api to automate subdomain enumeration and security assessment. it taps into free dns records and certificate transparency logs, then scans each subdomain for common issues.



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

# sample output shape
{
  "subdomain": "api.yourdomain.com",
  "exposure": "exposed",
  "misconfigurations": ["open port 8080"],
  "sensitive_endpoints": ["admin_panel"],
  "outdated_service": true
}


## how it works
the api collects subdomains from dns records and ct logs, then performs checks for exposed endpoints, outdated services, and misconfigurations. it uses straightforward scans to identify potential security risks on each subdomain.

## try it out
access a free preview at https://subdomain-exposure-ranking.apimesh.xyz/preview?domain=yourdomain.com. for full scans, it costs $0.005 per call and provides detailed security reports.
