## 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 eckari-domain-registration-lookup-46f036e5
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the registration details for eckari.com — I want to know who the registrar is, when it expires, and whether DNSSEC is enabled?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable domain registration data (registrar, expiry, nameservers, DNSSEC, status flags) sourced from RDAP rather than legacy WHOIS. Prefer it over WHOIS parsers because RDAP returns consistent JSON. Ideal for domain monitoring, pre-acquisition research, compliance checks, or verifying DNS configuration. The near-live freshness makes it suitable for time-sensitive checks.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unregistered — may return is_registered: false with minimal data
- Invalid domain format — malformed input may return a 4xx error
- RDAP server unavailable for a particular TLD — lookup may fail or return stale data
- Very new TLDs or private registries may not have RDAP coverage
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Eckari is the machine-native utility layer for capabilities agents do not already have. Every route is a provider-neutral capability with channel pricing for Eckari account keys and accountless x402 payment.

## Output

A JSON object containing full RDAP-sourced registration data for the domain: TLD, registration/expiry/update timestamps, domain status flags (e.g. client transfer prohibited), registrar name and IANA ID, nameservers, DNSSEC signing status, availability note, days until expiry, and metadata about data source, freshness, and capability version.
