How this service works
A record of news.<domain>: looks up the news host under the domain you give (A via Cloudflare DoH) and reports whether it exists, its records and TTL. Quick existence check for common hosts like news without enumerating subdomains. $0.01 per lookup.
Output
Returns whether the news.<domain> A record exists, the resolved IPv4 address(es), and the TTL value for the record as reported by Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS service.
Example use cases
Verify news subdomain before scraping
“Before I set up my news feed scraper, can you check if news.bbc.com actually resolves to an IP? I need the A record and TTL.”
Competitor infrastructure recon
“Does our competitor at companydomain.com run a dedicated news subdomain? Check if news.companydomain.com has an A record.”
Pre-deployment DNS validation
“We just configured news.ourstartup.io in DNS — can you confirm it's resolving correctly and tell me what IP and TTL it's reporting?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://dns.intel.rallylive.ca/dns/host/news/a?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost existence check specifically for the 'news' subdomain of a domain without enumerating all subdomains. Prefer it over full subdomain enumeration tools when you only care about the standard 'news' host. Ideal for bulk pipeline checks where you want to verify presence of a news subdomain before further action.
Side effects
- Domain does not exist — returns NXDOMAIN or no records found
- news subdomain not configured — returns empty record set
- Invalid domain format provided — may return error or empty result
- Cloudflare DoH service timeout or unavailability
- Domain has AAAA records only (IPv6) — A record lookup returns nothing
