# dns-loc-via-dnssb

> dns-loc-via-dnssb 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).

Retrieves LOC (geographic location) DNS records for a domain as resolved by DNS.SB via DNS over HTTPS, including TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and answer time.

## Facts

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-loc-via-dnssb-0dbfc2f1
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the LOC DNS records for example.com using the DNS.SB resolver and tell me the records, TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and how long DNS.SB took to answer?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to query LOC DNS records via the DNS.SB resolver (for comparison, auditing, or troubleshooting) and need resolver-level metadata such as DNSSEC validation status and answer latency. Prefer this over generic DNS tools when comparing per-resolver behavior to detect propagation lag, filtering, or split-horizon differences specifically through DNS.SB.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — NXDOMAIN response code returned
- Resolver cannot answer — SERVFAIL response code returned
- No LOC records configured for the domain — empty answer section with NOERROR
- Network timeout or upstream failure from DNS.SB resolver
- Invalid or malformed domain input causing request rejection

## How this service works

LOC records for a domain as answered by DNS.SB (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 LOC DNS records for the queried domain as seen by DNS.SB, including the record data, TTL, response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), whether the resolver performed DNSSEC validation, and the resolver's answer latency in milliseconds.
