Discovery API
The CertCentral Discovery API is a powerful REST API that allows you to scan your network using sensors and find all your internal and public facing SSL/TLS certificates regardless of the issuing Certificate Authority (CA).
Discovery cloud-scan is a free cloud service so there is nothing to install or manage. You can start scanning immediately to find your public SSL/TLS certificates. There is no limit to the number of cloud-based scans you can run.
To learn more, see Discovery cloud scan service.
