SSL Checker is an SSL certificate API that connects to a website and checks its live certificate in seconds. It returns the certificate details, whether the chain verifies to a trusted root and matches the hostname, the negotiated TLS version and cipher, HSTS and OCSP stapling, plus expiry signals: valid or expired, days until expiry, expiring soon and self-signed.
The SSL Certificate Checker API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate ssl certificate checker functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready ssl certificate checker capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callSSLCertificateCheckerAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
domain: 'ebay.com'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/sslchecker?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callSSLCertificateCheckerAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/sslchecker?domain=ebay.com" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
