This is a library for interacting with the certstream network to monitor an aggregated feed from a collection of Certificate Transparency Logs.

It is built to be compatible with both node.js and a standard browser with UMD.

Installing

npm install --save certstream

Or if you're using this in the browser, just add dist/certstream.min.js to a <script> tag, and interact with it as normal!

Usage

The CertStream API is extremely simple, all you have to do is register a callback and call connect().

const CertStreamClient = require('certstream');

let client = new CertStreamClient(function(message){
    console.log("Received -> ", message)
});

client.connect();

The connect() method takes a url argument for supplying a different certstream URL.

Example data structure

The data structure coming from CertStream looks like this:
