## 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-via-cloudflare-8a117b31
```

Example prompt: What TXT records does Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 return for example.com right now, and did it validate DNSSEC?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to see how Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 resolves TXT records for a domain — useful for comparing resolver behavior, detecting propagation lag, auditing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, or verifying DNSSEC validation status from Cloudflare's perspective.

## Known failure modes

- NXDOMAIN returned if domain does not exist
- SERVFAIL if the domain is misconfigured or unreachable upstream
- Empty TXT record set if no TXT records are published for the domain
- DNSSEC validation failure indicated in the response flag
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) preventing the lookup

## How this service works

TXT records for a domain as answered by Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 (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 TXT record values, TTL, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), a boolean indicating whether Cloudflare validated DNSSEC, and the resolver's answer time in milliseconds.
