SSL Labs Scan

This tool calls the SSL Labs API to do SSL testings on the given hosts, and generates csv and html reports.

• The tool uses API v4 if you provide your registered email with Qualys SSLLabs via the --email argument.
• The tool uses API v3 if you do not specify the --email argument. Note that v3 will be being deprecated in 2024 by Qualys.

All notable changes to this project will be documented in CHANGELOG.

Important Notes

ℹ️ Please note that from Qualys SSLLabs API v4, you must use a one-time registration with Qualys SSLLabs. For details see Introduction of API v4 for Qualys SSLLabs and deprecation of API v3.

The API v3 API will be available until the end of 2023 (Dec 31st 2023), and starting from 1st January 2024, we will be deprecating the API v3 support for SSL Labs. Request all customers to move to API v4.

ℹ️ Please note that the SSL Labs Assessment API has access rate limits. You can find more details in the sections "Error Response Status Codes" and "Access Rate and Rate Limiting" in the official SSL Labs API Documentation. Some common status codes are:

• 400 - invocation error (e.g., invalid parameters)
• 429 - client request rate too high or too many new assessments too fast
• 500 - internal error
• 503 - the service is not available (e.g., down for maintenance)
• 529 - the service is overloaded
