Or with Prometheus: https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter

https endpoints will include the probe_ssl_earliest_cert_expiry metric, which is the expiration in UNIX epoch seconds. Use with the builtin time() function.

Absolutely!

But... my app automatically finds new relevant hosts and adds them to the monitoring cycles, needing 0 intervention after you tell it which domains interest you. Not saying it's everyone's need, but I'm here for those who need just this :)

Right. And you don't have do depend on yet another external service for a simple task.
