# Halowerk Domain Intel — WHOIS, DNS, TLS & Subdomain Lookup

> Halowerk Domain Intel — WHOIS, DNS, TLS & Subdomain Lookup 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 subdomains — paid per call in USDC via x402.

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 halowerk-domain-intel-whois-dns-tls-subdomain-lookup-10ccd81a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull a full domain intelligence report for stripe.com — I need the WHOIS registration info, all DNS records, SPF/DMARC mail policy, 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 signing up for an API key. It is ideal for one-off or infrequent lookups (cybersecurity investigations, due diligence, email audit) where pay-per-call USDC pricing is preferable to a subscription. Prefer it over dedicated WHOIS-only or DNS-only tools when you need correlated output across WHOIS, DNS, mail policy, TLS, and subdomains simultaneously. The optional baseline parameter makes it useful for change detection workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not resolvable or does not exist — returns empty or error result
- Invalid domain format exceeding 253 characters — schema validation error
- WHOIS data unavailable due to privacy protection or registry restrictions — partial result
- TLS certificate absent (non-HTTPS domain) — cert fields empty
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — HTTP 402 response requiring USDC payment
- Subdomain enumeration may be incomplete for well-protected domains

## 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 structured report for the queried domain containing: WHOIS registration details (registrar, registrant, creation/expiry dates), full DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, etc.), mail policy records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), TLS/SSL certificate metadata (issuer, validity, SANs), and discovered subdomains. If a baseline snapshot is provided, the response may highlight changes relative to that prior state.
