# dns-ns-via-dnspod

> dns-ns-via-dnspod is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Resolves NS records for a domain using DNSPod (doh.pub) DNS over HTTPS and returns the records, TTL, DNSSEC validation status, response code, and resolver 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-ns-via-dnspod-83e2734f
```

Example prompt: What NS records does DNSPod return for example.com, and does it validate DNSSEC? I also want to know the TTL, response code, and how fast DNSPod answered.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need NS records as seen from DNSPod's (doh.pub) resolver, for comparing resolver-specific answers, diagnosing propagation lag or split-horizon DNS, or auditing DNSSEC validation behavior at DNSPod specifically. Use sibling endpoints for other record types or other resolvers.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — response code NXDOMAIN returned
- DNS server failure — response code SERVFAIL returned
- Domain has no NS records — empty record set with NOERROR
- Network timeout reaching DNSPod resolver — request error returned
- Invalid domain name format — bad input error

## How this service works

NS records for a domain as answered by DNSPod (doh.pub) (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 resolved by DNSPod (doh.pub) via DNS over HTTPS, including: the list of nameserver records, their TTL, the DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), whether the resolver performed DNSSEC validation, and the resolver's answer time in milliseconds.
