how to run efficient port scans without paid tools using a simple api

the problem

traditional port scanning tools can be slow, costly, or require setup you don’t want. it’s frustrating to depend on complex software or subscriptions just to get a clear picture of your security posture.

the solution

with the port-scanner api, you can perform deep port scans on target ip addresses quickly and affordably. just send a GET request to the /check endpoint, and you get back details about open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities.

example request:

http
GET https://port-scanner.apimesh.xyz/check?ip=192.168.1.1

sample output shape:

{
"ip": "192.168.1.1",
"ports": [
{"port": 22, "service": "ssh", "status": "open"},
{"port": 80, "service": "http", "status": "closed"}
],
"attack_vectors": ["ssh", "http"]
}

how it works

this api performs deep port scans by querying public dns records and utilizing open API sources. it sends targeted requests to analyze each port’s response, service info, and potential vulnerabilities, returning comprehensive results without needing paid tools or local scan setups.
