# dns-hinfo-via-google

> dns-hinfo-via-google is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches HINFO DNS records for a domain via Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS-over-HTTPS resolver, returning records, TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and answer latency.

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-hinfo-via-google-ba8e29b3
```

Example prompt: What does Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS resolver return for the HINFO record of example.com — including the TTL, response code, whether DNSSEC was validated, and how fast it answered?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to see how Google's 8.8.8.8 public resolver answers an HINFO DNS query — especially when comparing resolver behavior, detecting propagation differences, checking DNSSEC validation by Google, or diagnosing split-horizon DNS issues from a Google-resolver perspective. Choose sibling endpoints for other resolvers (Cloudflare, OpenDNS, AliDNS) or other record types (A, SRV, NAPTR, etc.).

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — returns NXDOMAIN response code with empty records
- Domain has no HINFO records — returns NOERROR with empty answer section
- Resolver error — returns SERVFAIL response code
- Network timeout reaching Google DoH endpoint — may return an error or no response
- Invalid domain name format in query parameter — likely returns an error or NXDOMAIN

## How this service works

HINFO records for a domain as answered by Google 8.8.8.8 (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 HINFO DNS record set for the queried domain as seen by Google 8.8.8.8, including the record data (CPU and OS fields), TTL in seconds, response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), a boolean indicating whether the resolver performed DNSSEC validation, and the resolver's answer time in milliseconds.
