How this service works
One DNS Doctor HTTP ping watch: a URL is checked from five regions on four continents on a 5- or 15-minute cadence for a paid window of up to 24 hours, polled by handle.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing a unique watch_id, the state of the watch job (e.g. 'running'), a poll_url to retrieve updates, and an expires_at timestamp indicating when the watch window ends.
Example use cases
Post-migration DNS propagation tracking
“I just moved example.com to a new DNS provider — start watching it every 15 minutes for the next 24 hours so I can see when the changes finish propagating globally.”
Email deliverability monitoring after SPF update
“I updated the SPF record on mycompany.com — can you set up a DNS watch polling every 5 minutes for 6 hours to make sure the change takes effect and email authentication stays valid?”
Proactive domain health alerting for production site
“Start monitoring storefront.io's DNS every 15 minutes for the next 8 hours so I'll know immediately if anything breaks after today's deployment.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://dnsdoctor.dev/api/v1/watch/pingWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need continuous, scheduled DNS monitoring over a defined window rather than a one-shot DNS scan. It is ideal after DNS record changes (SPF, DMARC, DKIM, A records) when you want to watch propagation in near-real-time at 5- or 15-minute intervals without manually re-triggering checks. Prefer it over single-scan endpoints when tracking temporal changes matters.
Side effects
- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error
- window_hours outside the 1–24 range causes a validation error
- cadence_seconds must be exactly 300 or 900; other values are rejected
- Expired or duplicate watch IDs may result in conflicts
- Payment failure (x402) prevents job creation
