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 domain-intel-akamai-ns-intelligence-via-x402-ce583d9d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the full domain intelligence for stripe.com — I want WHOIS, DNS records, mail policy, TLS certificate info, and any subdomains you can find, and flag if it's using Akamai nameservers.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, one-shot domain intelligence snapshot — WHOIS, DNS, mail policy, TLS, and subdomains — without setting up an account or API key. Ideal for ad-hoc investigations, security triage, vendor audits, or agent workflows that need full domain posture on demand and pay only per call. Prefer it over dedicated WHOIS-only or DNS-only APIs when breadth matters. The optional baseline diffing makes it especially useful for change detection workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed domain name returns a validation error
- Domain not found or unregistered may return empty WHOIS fields
- Baseline mismatch (domain in baseline differs from query domain) may cause an error or ignored diff
- Rate limits or payment failures via x402 result in HTTP 402 with payment required details
- TLS or subdomain enumeration may return partial results for heavily shielded domains
- DNS propagation delays may cause transient inconsistencies in record responses

## How this service works

Domain in, WHOIS, DNS, mail policy, TLS certificate and subdomains out. Pay per call in USDC over x402. No signup, no API key.

## Output

Returns a comprehensive domain intelligence report including WHOIS registration data, full DNS record set, mail policy records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), TLS/SSL certificate details, discovered subdomains, and Akamai nameserver presence. When a baseline is provided, the response highlights changes relative to previously observed records.
