# dns-a-via-adguard-watch

> dns-a-via-adguard-watch is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Monitors DNS A record changes for a domain via AdGuard DNS and returns current value, change status, and before/after diff compared to previous check.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 dns-a-via-adguard-watch-0f429c0b
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on the DNS A record for example.com via AdGuard and let me know if anything has changed since the last time we checked — show me what it is now and whether it's different.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to detect changes in DNS A records specifically as resolved by AdGuard DNS (which applies privacy/ad-filtering), rather than a plain lookup. Prefer this over raw DNS lookup endpoints when you want change detection with historical comparison, before/after diffs, and the ability to schedule recurring monitoring. Choose over other watch endpoints when AdGuard's filtered DNS perspective is relevant (e.g. detecting if a domain is newly blocked or resolved differently by AdGuard vs other resolvers).

## Known failure modes

- Domain not previously checked — no baseline to compare against, change flag will be false or absent
- Domain does not exist — NXDOMAIN response returned
- AdGuard DNS unreachable — upstream DNS resolver error
- Invalid domain input — malformed query parameter
- Rate limits or payment failure — $0.02 USDC per check required

## How this service works

Change watch for dns a via adguard: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same domain (kept 90 days) and returns the current answer, changed true/false, the fields that changed with before/after values, and when it was last seen. Schedule it to be alerted when this changes. $0.02 per check.

## Output

Returns the current DNS A record answer from AdGuard DNS, a boolean 'changed' flag indicating whether the result differs from the previous call for the same domain, a list of fields that changed with before/after values, and a timestamp of when the record was last seen. Previous results are retained for 90 days.
