# web.security_headers

**stable** **2 credits**

Security header audit (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, ...) with score and grade.

`GET /v1/web/security_headers`

## What you get

One Web record in Onekey's unified shape, in `data`. If the record does not exist you get a `404 not_found` and are not charged.

**Also known as:** `/on_page/page` on APIs that nest their paths. See [Alternatives and equivalents](https://onekey.dev/docs/alternatives.md).

## What it costs

- **2 credits** for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
- **Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).**
- **Free** if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

## Parameters

## Request

```bash
curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/web/security_headers?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.python.org%2F" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

```python
import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/web/security_headers",
    params={"url": "https://www.python.org/"},
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
body = res.json()

if body["success"]:
    print(body["data"])
else:
    print(body["error"]["code"], body["error"]["message"])
```

```javascript
const params = new URLSearchParams({ url: "https://www.python.org/" });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.onekey.dev/v1/web/security_headers?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
});
const body = await res.json();

if (body.success) console.log(body.data);
else console.error(body.error.code, body.error.message);
```

## Recorded response

A real Web response, recorded and returned in Onekey's shape. Fields the platform does not provide are `null`.

## Field mapping

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's [unified schema](https://onekey.dev/docs/schema.md). Fields the source lacks come back as `null`.

| Source path | Onekey field | Transform |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `finalUrl` | `content.url` | `safeUrl` |
| `score` | `entity.stats.score` | `toNumber` |
| `grade` | `ext.grade` | - |
| `passed` | `ext.passed` | `toNumber` |
| `total` | `ext.total` | `toNumber` |
| `checks` | `ext.checks` | - |
| `informationLeaks` | `ext.informationLeaks` | - |

## Caching and freshness

- Fresh for about 10 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
- Between 10 minutes and 1 hour the cached copy is still served instantly and marked `stale: true` while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
- If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 hour more (marked stale).
- A "not found" is remembered for 2 minutes and is free.
- The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

## What can go wrong

| Status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Check the `x-api-key` header. |
| 402 | `insufficient_credits` | [Add credits](https://onekey.dev/pricing); your balance must cover the price. |
| 404 | `not_found` | That record does not exist. Free; do not retry. |
| 422 | `invalid_params` | Fix the parameters using the table above. Free. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 502 | `upstream_error` | The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff. |

See [Errors](https://onekey.dev/docs/errors.md) for the full list and retry guidance.

Status: stable (verified against the live source).
