For Agents
Programmatically register for API access, check ssl labs availability and get engine info. Covers 6 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to register for API access, I want to check ssl labs availability and get engine info, Search for invoke assessment or check progress, Find all detailed endpoint information
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for security only.
Qualys SSL Labs Assessment API v4 for testing SSL/TLS servers available on the public Internet. Provides detailed analysis of SSL configuration, certificate chain, and security vulnerabilities. The API exposes 6 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the SSL Labs API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SSL Labs API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fssllabs.com%2Fssllabs" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fssllabs.com%2Fssllabs" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with SSL Labs API.
Register for API access
Check SSL Labs availability and get engine info
Invoke assessment or check progress
Retrieve detailed endpoint information
Monitor SSL Labs API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use SSL Labs API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Security Operations
Use the SSL Labs API to perform security operations programmatically. The API provides 6 endpoints covering core functionality including register for API access, check ssl labs availability and get engine info, invoke assessment or check progress.
Call POST /register to register for API access
Automated Analysis Management
Automate analysis operations by combining multiple SSL Labs API endpoints. Agents can check ssl labs availability and get engine info and then invoke assessment or check progress in a single workflow.
Call GET /info to check ssl labs availability and get engine info, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SSL Labs API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'register for API access', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the SSL Labs API by hand means registering for API access on api.ssllabs.com/api/v4, carrying its key into each call, and polling analyze results yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SSL Labs API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
You can limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as analyzing a host or reading endpoint data, so it runs scans and reads results and never registers a new API key unless you add that operation.
Credential isolation
Your SSL Labs API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'analyze the TLS configuration of a host' or 'get the endpoint scan results', and Jentic returns the matching SSL Labs API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using SSL Labs API through Jentic.
What authentication does the SSL Labs API use?
The SSL Labs API uses an API key passed in the `email` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I register for API access with the SSL Labs API?
Yes. Use the POST /register endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SSL Labs API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I register for API access through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'register for API access'. Jentic returns the matching SSL Labs API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the SSL Labs API have?
The SSL Labs API exposes 6 endpoints covering analysis, information, registration operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SSL Labs API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which SSL Labs operations your agent may call and which credentials it may use. You can allow just the read paths, such as analyzing a host with GET /analyze and reading endpoint results with GET /getEndpointData, while withholding POST /register so the agent can run scans and read results but never registers a new API key. The operations you do not grant are simply unavailable to the agent.
