# SafeStream SSL Certificate Stream - Hourly Without DER (Auth Token)

> SafeStream SSL Certificate Stream - Hourly Without DER (Auth Token) is a paid API for AI agents from api.thesafestream.com, paid per call via x402, $0.35/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Pays for and obtains a time-limited WebSocket access token for the hourly real-time SSL certificate stream (without DER encoding)

## 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 safestream-api-hourly-ssl-certificate-stream-no-der-encoding-410781a9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Connect me to the SafeStream real-time SSL certificate stream — I want the hourly feed without DER encoding so I can monitor newly issued certificates as they come in.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time SSL certificate intelligence updated every hour and do not need DER-encoded certificate data (saving bandwidth). Prefer the DER variant if you need full binary certificate data for cryptographic analysis. Prefer the domains-only stream for maximum throughput when certificate metadata is unnecessary. Use the daily variant if hourly granularity is not required and you want lower cost.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure — success:false returned if the $0.35 USDC payment is rejected or insufficient
- Token already expired — expiresIn returns 0 or negative if token is used too slowly after issuance
- Invalid credentials — 401/403 if auth headers are malformed
- WebSocket connection refused — token may have already been used or expired before connecting
- Rate limiting — too many requests within the hourly window may be rejected

## How this service works

Hourly access to SSL certificate stream. Real-time SSL certificates without DER encoding. Full documentation: https://www.thesafestream.com

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a boolean success flag, a short-lived WebSocket access token string, the WebSocket URL to connect to (wss://api.thesafestream.com/paid/stream?token=xxx), an ISO 8601 expiration timestamp, and the milliseconds remaining until the token expires. The agent should then open a WebSocket connection to the provided URL using the token to receive the live SSL certificate stream.
