## 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-aaaa-change-watch-via-opendns-c70372d4
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on the AAAA DNS record for example.com via OpenDNS and let me know if it has changed since the last time you checked — show me what changed and what the new IPv6 address is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need change detection specifically for AAAA (IPv6) DNS records resolved via OpenDNS, particularly for scheduled polling workflows where you want to be alerted on drift. Prefer this over a plain DNS lookup when you need stateful comparison across time rather than just the current record value. Choose the OpenDNS variant when you want OpenDNS's resolver perspective specifically, rather than Google, Cloudflare, or AliDNS.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or NXDOMAIN response from OpenDNS
- No previous result stored (first call returns changed=false or null baseline)
- OpenDNS resolution timeout or upstream failure
- Invalid or malformed domain name input
- Stored baseline expired after 90 days, losing comparison reference

## How this service works

Change watch for dns aaaa via opendns: 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 AAAA record answer from OpenDNS, a boolean indicating whether it changed since the previous call for that domain, a list of fields that changed with their before and after values, and a timestamp of when the record was last seen. Previous results are retained for 90 days.
