# dns-txt-dmarc-subdomain

> dns-txt-dmarc-subdomain is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Looks up the TXT DNS record for the _dmarc subdomain of a given domain via Cloudflare DoH and reports its existence, record values, and TTL.

## 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-txt-dmarc-subdomain-63cabb0b
```

Example prompt: Can you check if example.com has a DMARC record set up — look up the _dmarc TXT DNS entry and tell me what the policy says and whether it exists?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, targeted check for whether a domain has a DMARC policy configured, without enumerating subdomains or querying other DNS record types. Ideal for email security audits, vendor due-diligence checks, or deliverability diagnostics where only the _dmarc TXT record is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Domain has no _dmarc TXT record — endpoint returns a non-existence result rather than an error
- Invalid or malformed domain name input causes a DNS resolution failure
- Network or Cloudflare DoH timeout results in no response
- Rate limiting or payment failure ($0.01 USDC per call) prevents the lookup from completing

## How this service works

TXT record of _dmarc.<domain>: looks up the _dmarc host under the domain you give (TXT via Cloudflare DoH) and reports whether it exists, its records and TTL. Quick existence check for common hosts like _dmarc without enumerating subdomains. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns whether the _dmarc TXT record exists for the queried domain, along with the raw TXT record string (e.g. 'v=DMARC1; p=reject; ...'), the TTL, and the response status from Cloudflare DoH.
