## 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-lookup-api-355cd550
```

Example prompt: What are the MX records for gmail.com? Can you do a live DNS lookup and show me the results as JSON?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, authoritative DNS record data for any domain — especially when you need to verify email routing (MX), domain ownership (TXT), IP resolution (A/AAAA), or name server configuration (NS). Prefer this over WHOIS lookups when you need DNS-layer infrastructure details rather than registration metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — NXDOMAIN response returned
- Invalid record type specified — may return error or empty result
- Network timeout reaching authoritative nameserver
- Malformed domain name input — validation error
- SERVFAIL if authoritative DNS servers are unreachable

## How this service works

DNS lookup. GET /dns-lookup?domain=example.com&type=A|AAAA|MX|TXT|NS|CNAME|SOA → records as JSON. Live authoritative data, instant.

## Output

A JSON object containing the requested DNS records for the given domain and record type, sourced from live authoritative DNS servers. May include IP addresses (A/AAAA), mail server hostnames and priorities (MX), text strings (TXT), canonical names (CNAME), name server hostnames (NS), or start-of-authority data (SOA).
