# dns-aaaa-via-opendns

> dns-aaaa-via-opendns is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Resolves AAAA (IPv6) DNS records for a domain using OpenDNS over HTTPS, returning records, TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and answer latency.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://dns.intel.rallylive.ca/dns/aaaa/via/opendns?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402

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-aaaa-via-opendns-b48fd52a
```

Example prompt: What AAAA records does OpenDNS return for example.com — include the TTL, whether DNSSEC was validated, and how fast the resolver answered?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see how OpenDNS resolves IPv6 (AAAA) records for a domain — particularly for comparing resolver behavior, detecting DNS filtering or content policies applied by OpenDNS, spotting propagation lag relative to other resolvers, or verifying DNSSEC validation. Use sibling endpoints for other record types (A, TXT, CNAME) or other resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, AdGuard).

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — returns NXDOMAIN response code with no records
- OpenDNS resolver error — returns SERVFAIL response code
- No AAAA records exist for domain (IPv4-only domain) — NOERROR with empty answer section
- Network timeout reaching OpenDNS DoH endpoint — request error
- Invalid domain name input — may return error or malformed response

## How this service works

AAAA records for a domain as answered by OpenDNS (DNS over HTTPS): the records, TTL, response code (NOERROR/NXDOMAIN/SERVFAIL), whether the resolver validated DNSSEC, and the resolver's answer time. Compare resolvers to spot propagation lag, filtering or split-horizon answers. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns the AAAA (IPv6 address) records for the queried domain as answered by the OpenDNS DoH resolver, along with the TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), whether the resolver performed DNSSEC validation, and the resolver's answer latency in milliseconds.
