# DNS SOA Lookup via CleanBrowsing (DoH)

> DNS SOA Lookup via CleanBrowsing (DoH) 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).

Returns SOA records for a domain as answered by the CleanBrowsing security-filter DNS resolver over HTTPS, including TTL, response code, DNSSEC validation status, and resolver answer time.

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-soa-lookup-via-cleanbrowsing-doh-c6c613cf
```

Example prompt: What SOA record does CleanBrowsing's security DNS resolver return for example.com, and does it validate DNSSEC?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see how CleanBrowsing's security-filtering DNS resolver answers an SOA query — for example to detect whether a domain is being filtered/blocked, to compare resolver propagation speed against other resolvers, or to verify DNSSEC validation behavior on a security-focused resolver. Prefer sibling endpoints (e.g. dns-soa-via-dnspod) for the same SOA query answered by different resolvers.

## Known failure modes

- NXDOMAIN returned if domain does not exist or is blocked by CleanBrowsing security filter
- SERVFAIL if the upstream resolver or domain's nameservers are unreachable
- Empty or filtered response if CleanBrowsing security policy blocks the domain
- Network timeout if CleanBrowsing DoH endpoint is temporarily unavailable
- Invalid domain input may result in an error response

## How this service works

SOA records for a domain as answered by CleanBrowsing (security filter) (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 SOA record data (primary nameserver, responsible party, serial, refresh/retry/expire/minimum values), TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), a boolean indicating whether CleanBrowsing validated DNSSEC, and the resolver's answer time in milliseconds.
