# DopamineDesk DNS & WHOIS Lookup API

> DopamineDesk DNS & WHOIS Lookup API is a paid API for AI agents from ai-data-marketplace-1042299154756.us-central1.run.app, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Looks up DNS records and WHOIS registration data (registrar, creation/expiration dates, A/MX/TXT records) for a given domain name.

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 dopaminedesk-dns-whois-lookup-api-a63af69b
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full DNS and WHOIS info for stripe.com — I want to see the registrar, creation and expiration dates, plus all A, MX, and TXT records?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both WHOIS registration metadata (registrar, dates) and DNS record resolution in a single call, paid per-use via USDC on Base with no subscription required. Ideal for agents doing ad-hoc domain investigations, security due diligence, or infrastructure audits without committing to a recurring DNS/WHOIS API contract.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unregistered — may return empty/null WHOIS fields
- Invalid domain format — returns error if domain is malformed
- DNS resolution failure — specific record types may be empty if not configured
- Rate limiting or payment failure — x402 USDC settlement must succeed before data is returned
- Unsupported record type requested — may silently omit or return error for unrecognized record_types values

## How this service works

Resolve current DNS records and fetch public RDAP registration metadata for a domain.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the domain name, registrar name, creation and expiration dates (ISO 8601), and a dns_records object with arrays of A, MX, and TXT records. Additional record types may be included if requested via the record_types parameter.
