Public Task Concepts

• Compare previous and current TLS Certificate snapshots
• Monitor TLS Certificate changes for a capped watchlist
• Build a TLS Certificate change digest from supplied evidence
• Prioritize high-impact TLS Certificate changes
• Export TLS Certificate change rows for client review

What It Does

Monitor TLS certificates, expiry, chain health, issuer changes, and HTTPS readiness.

Monitor TLS certificates, expiry, chain health, issuer changes, and HTTPS readiness. Use it to find crawlability, indexability, security, metadata, and page-quality issues with evidence-backed rows and audit reports.

What It Does Not Do

• It does not bypass authentication, access private systems, or perform invasive security testing.
• It does not make unbounded crawls or unbounded external requests.
• It does not replace a full compliance, legal, or security assessment.
• It does not publish itself or change live Apify Store settings; release actions stay behind the repository scheduler and cloud replay gates.

Cost Controls

• Start with the tiny example input.
• Keep caps conservative: maxItems, maxTargets, includeReport.
• Keep pass-through usage set to OFF unless a future live cost review requires a change.
• Generate reports only when the report event is configured and budget allows it.

• Network and DNS results can differ by resolver, region, CDN, or runtime environment.
• Recommendations are operational guidance and should be reviewed before production changes.

FAQ

What should I run first?

Use the bundled tiny input or a single low-risk domain/record before expanding caps.

Does this actor require credentials?

No credentials are required for the default bounded workflow.

How is billing protected?

Paid dataset rows are emitted only after the configured PPE guard accepts the relevant event charge.
