# Get server certificate

This is a pre-built action located under the **APIs List**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to retrieve the SSL/TLS certificate from the server associated with the endpoint URL and save it to a specified file path on the local machine.

#### Syntax

Input Value: \<File Path>Argument

| Argument                | Description                                                         |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<File Path> (Required) | The full path where the retrieved server certificate will be saved. |

#### Output Value

**Example**

**Retrieving and Saving the Server Certificate from a API**

The **Get server certificate** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., C:\Certificates\server.crt) and retrieves the SSL certificate from the connected API endpoint. It then saves the certificate to the specified file path.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/apis/apis-list/get-server-certificate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
