# dns-https-via-alidns

> dns-https-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 2026-10-21).

Queries HTTPS DNS records for a domain using AliDNS (223.5.5.5) via DNS over HTTPS, returning records, 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-https-via-alidns-f28df433
```

Example prompt: What HTTPS DNS records does AliDNS return for example.com, and does it validate DNSSEC? I want to compare it against other resolvers for propagation differences.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see how AliDNS (223.5.5.5) resolves HTTPS records — particularly useful for diagnosing DNS propagation lag, detecting geographically filtered responses, or comparing AliDNS behavior against Cloudflare, Google, or OpenDNS for the same domain. Ideal for users with audiences in China or East Asia where AliDNS is a dominant resolver.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — NXDOMAIN response code returned
- Resolver error — SERVFAIL response code returned if AliDNS fails to resolve
- No HTTPS records exist for the domain — empty record set with NOERROR
- Network timeout reaching AliDNS — may result in error or delayed response
- Invalid domain name input — malformed query rejected

## How this service works

HTTPS 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 HTTPS DNS records for the queried domain as answered by AliDNS 223.5.5.5, including the record data, TTL, response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), DNSSEC validation status, and the resolver's answer time in milliseconds.
