## 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-ns-gandi-article-lookup-via-x402-e0998bd9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a full domain intelligence report for stripe.com — I need the WHOIS info, all DNS records, mail policy, TLS certificate, and any subdomains you can find?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call, all-in-one domain intelligence report covering DNS, WHOIS, mail policy, TLS, and subdomains without creating an account or managing API keys. Ideal for ad-hoc agent-driven security audits, phishing domain investigations, or vendor due-diligence checks where pay-per-use micropayments via x402 are preferred over subscription APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed domain name returns validation error
- Domain not found in WHOIS registry returns empty or error response
- Payment via x402 fails or insufficient USDC balance causes 402 response
- Rate limiting or upstream DNS/WHOIS provider timeouts
- Baseline object schema mismatch causes request rejection

## 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 (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CAA, SOA), mail policy details (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), TLS/SSL certificate information, and discovered subdomains for the queried domain.
