## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability bimi-record-check-42f3eb8c
```

Example prompt: Can you check if apple.com has a BIMI record set up — I want to know if they have an SVG logo URL and a VMC certificate configured at default._bimi?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost DNS lookup to verify BIMI email branding configuration for any domain. Prefer it over manual DNS tools when automating email audit pipelines, benchmarking competitor email setups, or checking brand readiness at scale. It is ideal for agents performing email infrastructure checks without needing a full email authentication suite.

## Known failure modes

- Domain has no BIMI record at default._bimi — record existence returned as false with no URLs
- Invalid or malformed domain name input — likely returns an error or empty result
- DNS resolution failure for the domain — may return an error or timeout
- Domain exists but BIMI record is misconfigured — may return partial data (e.g. logo URL but no VMC)
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — request not processed

## How this service works

BIMI record check for a domain: whether a Brand Indicators for Message Identification record exists at default._bimi, the SVG logo URL and the VMC certificate URL. Email branding readiness check. $0.01 per domain.

## Output

Returns whether a BIMI DNS record exists at default._bimi for the queried domain, along with the SVG logo URL (if present) and the VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) certificate URL (if present), indicating the domain's email brand indicator readiness.
