# dns-txt-via-dnspod-watch

> dns-txt-via-dnspod-watch is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Monitors DNS TXT records for a domain via DNSPod, detects changes compared to the previous check, and returns current values plus a diff of what changed.

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-via-dnspod-watch-ada7d875
```

Example prompt: Keep an eye on the TXT records for example.com using DNSPod and let me know if anything has changed since the last time you checked — show me what was there before and what it is now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically want to monitor DNS TXT records as answered by DNSPod (a Chinese DNS provider) and need built-in change detection with diff output rather than just a raw lookup. Prefer it over plain TXT lookup endpoints when your workflow involves scheduling repeated checks and acting on changes (e.g. SPF, DKIM, domain verification tokens). Use it instead of the NextDNS or Cloudflare TXT watch variants when you need DNSPod's resolver perspective, which may differ for domains with split-horizon or geo-based DNS configurations.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no TXT records — empty record set returned
- First call for a domain has no previous result to compare against — changed may default to false or null
- DNSPod resolver unavailable or returns SERVFAIL — error or empty response
- Domain input missing or malformed — request fails validation
- Previous result expired after 90 days — treated as a fresh first check with no diff

## How this service works

Change watch for dns txt via dnspod: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same domain (kept 90 days) and returns the current answer, changed true/false, the fields that changed with before/after values, and when it was last seen. Schedule it to be alerted when this changes. $0.02 per check.

## Output

Returns the current DNS TXT record answer from DNSPod, a boolean indicating whether the result changed since the last call (stored for up to 90 days), a list of fields that changed with before and after values, and a timestamp of when the record was last seen.
