SSLMate Cert Spotter API
Unauthorized certificates mean domain hijacking, phishing attacks, or CA compromise. Your AI agent monitors Cert Spotter events, lists your watched domains, and retrieves webhook configurations so your security team stays ahead of certificate transparency threats, all through conversation.
Your AI agent interfaces with SSLMate's Cert Spotter API to surface certificate events, audit monitored domains, and verify webhook health without logging into another dashboard.
SSLMate Cert Spotter API
How security teams use AI agents with Cert Spotter to detect rogue certificates, verify monitoring coverage, and maintain certificate transparency compliance.
An alert fires for a new certificate on your primary domain. Your AI Agent retrieves the Cert Spotter event, examines the issuer and SAN fields, and determines the certificate was issued by an unrecognized CA. The agent flags it as potentially unauthorized and recommends contacting the CA for revocation. Security response begins in minutes, not after the next scheduled review.
An auditor asks 'Are all our production domains being monitored for certificate transparency?' Your AI Agent retrieves the full list of monitored domains from Cert Spotter and cross-references it against your known domain inventory. Any gaps surface immediately, allowing your team to add missing domains before the audit closes.
Your DevOps team suspects certificate alerts are not reaching the SIEM. Your AI Agent retrieves the current Cert Spotter webhook configuration, confirms the endpoint URL and delivery status, and identifies whether the webhook is misconfigured or pointing to an outdated URL. Alerting pipeline gets fixed before a real incident is missed.

FAQs
The agent retrieves Cert Spotter events and examines certificate metadata including the issuing CA, subject alternative names, and issuance timestamps. By comparing these details against your known certificate inventory and approved CAs, it identifies certificates that may have been issued without authorization.
Each event contains the certificate issuer, domain names covered by the certificate, the certificate's validity period, the Certificate Transparency log where it was recorded, and a unique event identifier. The agent presents this information in a readable format during conversations.
Cert Spotter monitors wildcard and subdomain certificates when the parent domain is in your monitored domains list. The agent can verify which domains are being watched by listing all monitored domains. Adding new domains to monitoring is done through the SSLMate dashboard.
No. Tars queries the Cert Spotter API in real time. Event details, domain lists, and webhook configurations are fetched during the conversation and not stored separately. Your certificate transparency data remains in SSLMate's system.
SSLMate ingests over 10 million certificates daily from 40+ Certificate Transparency logs. Cert Spotter monitors both traditional RFC6962 logs and modern static-ct-api logs, providing comprehensive coverage of the certificate ecosystem.
Yes. The agent retrieves the current webhook configuration from Cert Spotter, showing the endpoint URL and settings. While the agent cannot test webhook delivery directly, it confirms that the webhook is configured and points to the correct destination.
Manually searching CT logs requires visiting multiple log servers and parsing raw certificate data. With Tars and Cert Spotter, your AI agent handles the query, interprets the results, and presents findings conversationally. Security teams get actionable insights without browser-based log searching.
The Cert Spotter API focuses on certificate issuance detection through Certificate Transparency logs. SSLMate's hosted service also monitors for expiring and incorrectly installed certificates, but the API endpoints available to the agent are focused on CT event monitoring and domain watchlists.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
