# dns-dnskey-via-alidns

> dns-dnskey-via-alidns is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

Retrieves DNSKEY records for a domain as resolved by AliDNS (223.5.5.5) via DNS over HTTPS, including TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and resolver answer time.

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-dnskey-via-alidns-3dfafadd
```

Example prompt: What DNSKEY records does AliDNS return for example.com, and does it validate DNSSEC?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see how the AliDNS (Alibaba, 223.5.5.5) resolver answers DNSKEY queries — particularly useful for auditing DNSSEC key propagation in China/Asia, comparing resolver behavior across geographies, or detecting filtering and split-horizon DNS answers. Use alongside sibling endpoints querying other resolvers (NextDNS, Mullvad, DNSPod, etc.) for multi-resolver comparison.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist: returns NXDOMAIN response code with no records
- AliDNS resolver is unreachable or fails: returns SERVFAIL response code
- Domain has no DNSKEY records: returns NOERROR with empty answer section
- Network timeout: resolver answer time may be elevated or request may fail
- Invalid domain name format: may return an error or empty result

## How this service works

DNSKEY records for a domain as answered by AliDNS 223.5.5.5 (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 DNSKEY records (if any) for the queried domain as answered by AliDNS 223.5.5.5 over HTTPS, along with the TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), a boolean indicating whether AliDNS performed DNSSEC validation, and the resolver's answer latency in milliseconds.
