If you’re monitoring multiple domains and services, these two endpoints might save you some scripting time:
SSL check:
curl http://5.78.129.127/api/ssl/yourdomain.com
Returns: issuer, subject, expiry date, days remaining, is_valid boolean. I use this in a daily cron that alerts me when any cert is within 14 days of expiring.
DNS lookup:
curl http://5.78.129.127/api/dns/lookup/yourdomain.com
Returns all record types (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT) in one call. Useful for verifying DNS propagation after changes.
Both return clean JSON, no auth needed (50 req/day free). Part of a larger API with 28 endpoints for various dev/sysadmin tasks: http://5.78.129.127/api/
Not trying to replace your existing monitoring — more of a quick-and-dirty complement when you need a one-liner in a script.
