Retrieve SSL Certificate Details with a Single API Call!

Hey fellow developers,

Web security is a big deal. We all know how crucial it is to protect our users' data and maintain their trust. One key aspect of web security is ensuring that your websites have up-to-date and valid SSL/TLS certificates. That's why I wanted to share a tool I've been working on – an API that makes it super easy to check SSL certificate details for any domain or hostname.

What's the Deal with SSL Certificates?

SSL certificates are like the lock and key for your website. They encrypt the data transferred between your server and your users' browsers, keeping sensitive information safe from prying eyes. But these certificates have an expiration date, and if they're not renewed, your website can become vulnerable.

Introducing the SSL Certificate Checker API

I've built a simple API using Bun.js that allows you to quickly fetch SSL certificate details. Whether you're a developer, a sysadmin, or just someone who wants to keep an eye on their websites, this tool can be a real lifesaver.

What Can You Do with It?

Here are some things you can do with the SSL Certificate Checker API:

• Check Certificate Expiration: You can easily find out when your SSL certificate is set to expire. No more last-minute scrambles to renew it!
• Verify Domain SSL: Wondering if a specific domain has a valid SSL certificate installed? This API can help you with that.

How to Use It?

Using the API is straightforward. You can make requests to its endpoints with just a few lines of code. For example, in JavaScript:

const axios = require('axios');

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'https://ssl-certificate-checker3.p.rapidapi.com/google.com',
  headers: {
    'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY',
    'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'ssl-certificate-checker3.p.rapidapi.com'
  }
};

try {
    const response = await axios.request(options);
    console.log(response.data);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}

Replace 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY' with your RapidAPI key and the domain you want to check. You'll get a JSON response with all the SSL certificate details.

Give It a Try

Ensuring your website's security should be a top priority. That's why I wanted to share this API with you all. It's available on RapidAPI with a free plan. There's no pressure to upgrade – the free plan gives you enough to get started.
