Domain health

TLS signature-health grade for a domain

GEThttps://ecdsa.com/api/v1/health/{domain}

Connects to the domain on port 443, examines the served certificate chain, key and signature algorithms, protocol versions and lifetimes, and returns a letter grade with findings, plus the leaf certificate's expiry and key algorithm as structured fields. Results are cached for 1 hour. Only public DNS hostnames are accepted — IP addresses, single-label names and private/reserved addresses are refused. Extra rate limit: 10 requests/minute per IP. A fresh scan can take several seconds.

Коды ошибок

КодСтатусЗначение
invalid_json400The body is not valid JSON or not a JSON object; or the input nests arrays and objects more than 64 levels deep (JSON documents inside string fields count too), or is too complex to inspect for private keys.
private_key_rejected400The request contains private-key material (a PEM PRIVATE KEY block, an OpenSSH, SSH2 or PuTTY private key, or a JWK with "d"). Never send private keys anywhere.
invalid_domain400Not a public DNS hostname (IP addresses, single-label names and paths are refused).
scan_dns_error400The domain does not resolve in public DNS.
scan_private_address400The domain resolves (at least partly) to a private or reserved address.
unauthorized401The Authorization or X-API-Key header is malformed, the API key is not valid (wrong checksum, unknown, revoked or expired), or the operation needs a key.
forbidden_scope403The API key is valid but lacks a scope this operation requires; the message names it.
not_found404No operation exists at this path.
method_not_allowed405The path exists but does not accept this HTTP method; see the Allow header.
rate_limited429Too many requests — see Retry-After.
quota_exceeded429A daily or monthly quota of the API key's account is used up. X-Quota-Reset (and Retry-After) say when it starts over; retrying earlier cannot succeed.
internal_error500Unexpected server error.
scan_unreachable502The domain refused or dropped the connection on port 443.
scan_tls_error502The TLS handshake failed or presented no usable certificate.
service_unavailable503API keys cannot be verified right now (the key store is unreachable); retry shortly.
scan_timeout504The scan did not finish in time.
