How this service works
DNS SOA record lookup: zone start-of-authority with primary nameserver, admin contact email, serial number and refresh/retry/expire/minimum timers, parsed into JSON. Zone health and change detection (serial). $0.01 per lookup.
Output
A JSON object containing the domain's SOA record fields: primary nameserver (MNAME), responsible admin email (RNAME), serial number, refresh interval, retry interval, expire interval, and minimum TTL — all parsed and ready to use programmatically.
Example use cases
DNS zone change detection
“Check the SOA serial number for clientsite.com — I want to know if the DNS zone has changed since last time I checked.”
Domain admin contact discovery
“Who administers the DNS zone for acmecorp.net? Pull the SOA record so I can get the admin contact email and primary nameserver.”
Zone timer audit for infrastructure review
“I'm auditing DNS health for devplatform.io — can you fetch the SOA record and give me the refresh, retry, expire, and minimum TTL values?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://intel.rallylive.ca/dns/soaWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, parsed SOA data rather than raw DNS output — especially for zone health checks, serial-based change detection, or extracting admin contact and nameserver info without running command-line DNS tools. Ideal for agents automating DNS audits or monitoring pipelines where JSON output is required.
Side effects
- Domain has no SOA record (non-existent zone) — returns error or empty result
- Domain does not exist (NXDOMAIN) — lookup fails
- DNS resolution timeout or upstream nameserver unreachable — returns error
- Invalid domain name format provided — returns validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
