## 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-via-google-9df5dd8c
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the SOA record for example.com as seen by Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS resolver, and tell me the TTL, response code, whether DNSSEC was validated, and how fast it answered?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see how Google's public 8.8.8.8 resolver answers SOA queries for a domain — useful for comparing propagation status, detecting resolver-specific filtering, or auditing DNSSEC compliance as seen from Google's global vantage point. Prefer it over generic DNS tools when Google's resolver perspective specifically matters (e.g. a large portion of your users rely on Google DNS).

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — returns NXDOMAIN response code
- Upstream Google resolver is unreachable or times out — returns SERVFAIL
- Domain has no SOA record configured — empty answer section with NOERROR
- DNSSEC validation failure — CD flag or validation error indicated in response
- Missing or malformed domain input — request rejected with error

## How this service works

SOA 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 SOA resource records for the queried domain as answered by Google 8.8.8.8, including the full record data, TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), whether the resolver performed and validated DNSSEC, and the resolver's answer latency in milliseconds.
