1 toolcheck_certificateCheck a server's SSL/TLS certificate (expiry, chain, hostname, TLS version)Read-onlyIdempotentInspect
Run a live TLS handshake against host:port and audit the certificate the server presents. Returns an A/B/C/F grade and summary, expiry (days remaining), hostname match, chain completeness and trust against Mozilla's root store, negotiated TLS version and cipher suite, key type/size, findings, and a link to the full report. Revocation (OCSP/CRL) is NOT checked. Hosts on Cloudflare's own network cannot be checked live (result: isError with code live_check_unavailable, no grade); a failed handshake returns check_failed with no grade. Read-only: it only opens a TLS connection to the public host. Same engine, cache and limits as the CertGuard JSON API (GET /api/v1/check).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| host | Yes | Hostname or public IP to check, e.g. example.com. An https:// URL is accepted and reduced to its host (and port). Private, internal and reserved addresses are rejected. | |
| port | No | TCP port (default 443). Allowed: 443, 8443, 465, 993, 995. | |
| include_raw | No | Also return the full /api/v1/check JSON (all chain certificates, SANs, handshake attempts) in structuredContent.raw. Larger output. |
