## 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-ns-records-via-google-8-8-8-8-doh-e36c3e3c
```

Example prompt: What NS records does Google's 8.8.8.8 resolver return for example.com — include the TTL, response code, DNSSEC status, and how fast it answered?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see NS records from Google's 8.8.8.8 perspective — useful for comparing against other resolvers to detect propagation lag, geographic or ISP-level filtering, or split-horizon DNS setups. Prefer this over generic NS lookups when DNSSEC validation status and resolver answer time from Google specifically are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — response code NXDOMAIN returned
- Google resolver is temporarily unavailable — SERVFAIL returned
- DNSSEC validation failure — response may include SERVFAIL with DNSSEC flag
- Domain has no NS records — empty answer section with NOERROR
- Network timeout reaching Google DoH endpoint — request error returned
- Invalid domain name input — malformed query error

## How this service works

NS 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 NS records for the queried domain as answered by Google's 8.8.8.8 DoH resolver, along with the TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), whether the resolver validated DNSSEC, and the time taken for the resolver to answer.
