> dns-loc-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).

Retrieves DNS LOC (geographic location) records for a domain as answered by Google's 8.8.8.8 resolver via DNS over HTTPS, including TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and answer time.

## 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-google-55129a22
```

Example prompt: What LOC DNS records does Google's 8.8.8.8 resolver return for example.com, and does it validate DNSSEC for those records?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need LOC records as seen by Google's 8.8.8.8 public resolver, particularly when comparing resolver behavior across providers to detect propagation lag, filtering, or split-horizon DNS configurations. Prefer this over generic DNS tools when you need DNSSEC validation status and resolver latency data alongside the record content.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — response code NXDOMAIN returned with no records
- Domain has no LOC records configured — NOERROR with empty answer section
- Upstream resolver error — SERVFAIL returned indicating resolution failure
- Invalid domain name input — may return an error or unexpected response
- Network timeout — Google resolver unreachable or slow to respond

## How this service works

LOC 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 LOC records for the queried domain as seen by Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS over HTTPS resolver, along with the TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), a flag indicating whether DNSSEC was validated, and the resolver's answer latency.
