HTTP Reference API

healthy 4,835 Subscribers

A clean, programmatic reference for HTTP semantics, built on the official IANA registries. Look up any status code with its reason phrase and class (404 → Not Found, Client Error; 503 → Service Unavailable, Server Error), list a whole class (4xx, 5xx…); look up any method with its safe/idempotent flags (GET → safe + idempotent, POST → neither, DELETE → idempotent); or look up / search the 255 registered HTTP header fields (Content-Type, Authorization, …) with their registration status. Ideal for API tooling, HTTP clients, documentation, linters, learning resources and error pages.

Security Headers API

Fetch any URL and analyse its HTTP response security headers — grading the site A+ to F the way securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory do. Pass a URL and the service makes the request server-side (following redirects), then reports which protective headers are present, which are missing (with concrete remediation advice) and which response headers leak information. Graded headers include Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy; information-leak headers include Server and X-Powered-By. A companion endpoint returns every raw response header. Private and internal targets are refused (SSRF-guarded). Built for security audits, CI/CD security gates, attack-surface reviews and compliance checks. A security-header grader — distinct from the SSL/TLS certificate check (sslcheck), host reachability (hostcheck), the IANA HTTP status-code reference (http) and the on-page SEO audit (seo). No upstream key, no cache.

IP Protocol Numbers API

The IANA "Assigned Internet Protocol Numbers" registry as an API — the 8-bit value carried in the IPv4 Protocol field (and IPv6 Next Header) that identifies the encapsulated protocol. Resolve any number to its protocol (e.g. 6 → TCP, 17 → UDP, 1 → ICMP, 47 → GRE, 50 → ESP, 58 → IPv6-ICMP, 89 → OSPF, 132 → SCTP), look up by keyword, search by name, or list all 151 assigned protocols — each with its keyword, full name, IPv6-extension-header flag and defining RFC. Ideal for packet/firewall tooling, network analysis, NetFlow/IPFIX decoders and protocol documentation. (Distinct from transport-layer service port numbers.)

URI Schemes API

The IANA Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes registry as an API — all 413 registered schemes (http, https, mailto, tel, ftp, ssh, magnet, bitcoin, geo, did, …). Look up any scheme to get its description, registration status (Permanent, Provisional or Historical) and defining reference; search by name or description; or list all schemes filtered by status. Ideal for URL parsers and validators, link handlers, deep-linking, security allow-lists and developer tooling that needs to recognise or vet URI schemes.

Network Ports API

The official IANA Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number registry as an API — 12,500+ TCP, UDP, SCTP and DCCP port assignments. Look up what service runs on a port (e.g. 443 → https), find which port(s) a named service uses (e.g. ssh → 22), and search the registry by service or description. A handy reference for networking, DevOps, security and firewall tooling.
