# Aurenic SSL Certificate Lookup

> Aurenic SSL Certificate Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.aurenic.org, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Retrieves SSL/TLS certificate details for a given hostname via a pay-per-call microservice

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aurenic-ssl-certificate-lookup-69f68db8
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the SSL certificate details for api.example.com and tell me when it expires and who issued it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call, programmatic SSL certificate inspection for any hostname without setting up your own TLS probing infrastructure. Prefer it over manual openssl commands or browser inspection when automating certificate audits, monitoring expiry, or verifying issuer trust chains at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unreachable host returns an error or empty response
- Host does not support HTTPS and has no SSL certificate to return
- Malformed hostname input causes a 400-level error
- Payment not fulfilled causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Timeout if the remote host is slow to respond during the SSL handshake

## How this service works

Web scraping and AI automation. High-performance data extraction and pay-per-call microservices.

## Output

Returns JSON containing SSL/TLS certificate metadata for the specified hostname, including issuer details, subject, validity dates (not-before and not-after), certificate chain information, and possibly the TLS version or cipher suite in use.
