# Domain Intel — WHOIS, DNS, TLS & Subdomain Lookup via x402

> Domain Intel — WHOIS, DNS, TLS & Subdomain Lookup via x402 is a paid API for AI agents from dns.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.009/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Given a domain name, returns WHOIS registration data, DNS records, mail policy (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), TLS certificate details, and subdomain enumeration — paid per call in USDC over x402 with no signup required.

## 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-whois-dns-tls-subdomain-lookup-via-x402-76816d15 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a full domain intelligence report for example.com — I need the WHOIS registration info, all DNS records, mail policy (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), TLS certificate details, and any subdomains you can find?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-signal domain intelligence report in a single call without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for one-off lookups, agent-driven security audits, or pay-as-you-go workflows. Prefer it over dedicated WHOIS or DNS tools when you need WHOIS, DNS, mail policy, TLS, and subdomains combined. The x402 micropayment model makes it suitable for low-volume, on-demand use cases where committing to a subscription is undesirable.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unresolvable — returns empty or partial results
- Invalid domain format (exceeds 253 characters or malformed) — request rejected
- WHOIS data unavailable for certain TLDs or privacy-protected registrations
- TLS certificate absent if domain has no HTTPS endpoint
- Payment failure over x402 — request not processed
- Rate limiting or temporary upstream DNS/WHOIS provider failures

## 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 details (registrar, registrant, expiry dates), full DNS records (A, MX, NS, TXT, etc.), mail policy records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), TLS/SSL certificate metadata (issuer, validity, SANs), and a list of discovered subdomains. If a baseline is provided, changes since the baseline observation can be highlighted.
