Certificate API
Library of Code sp-us | Board of Directors
This is an HTTP API which provides information on the x509 certificates deployed on TLS sites. You can self-host this yourself, however you're more than welcome to use the public API at https://certapi.libraryofcode.org/
Installation
Run make to build the binary. It'll be installed in build/certificateapi. Simply run this executable.
Environment Variables
By default, the application listens on port 8080. You can change this by setting the PORT environment variable to what you want.
When running in production, set this environment variable: GIN_MODE=release
How to Query Information for Websites
Send a GET request to https://certapi.libraryofcode.org with the query parameter q set to equal the site you wish to dial.
Ex: https://certapi.libraryofcode.org/?q=www.google.com

How to Parse PEM-Encoded X509 certificate data
Submit a POST request to https://certapi.libraryofcode.org/ with the body being the raw/text content of the PEM encoded certificate.
