# is-dns-google-down

> is-dns-google-down is a paid API for AI agents from monitor.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Performs a live HTTP check from Cloudflare's edge to determine if dns.google is currently up or down, returning status, response time, TLS validity, and an up/down verdict.

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 is-dns-google-down-4603b876
```

Example prompt: Can you check if dns.google is actually down right now or if it's just a problem on my end? I want to know the HTTP status, response time, and whether their TLS certificate is valid.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to distinguish a real dns.google outage from a local network or ISP issue. Because the check originates from Cloudflare's global edge, a 'down' result confirms the service is unreachable externally, not just from the user's location. Prefer this over generic ping tools when you need HTTP-level detail including TLS validity and redirect behavior specific to dns.google.

## Known failure modes

- Network error reaching dns.google from Cloudflare edge — returns down verdict with error detail
- TLS certificate invalid or expired — flagged in TLS validity field
- Timeout on HTTP request — returns down verdict with timeout indication
- Unexpected redirect loop — final URL may differ from expected, flagged in response

## How this service works

Is dns.google down right now? Live check from Cloudflare's edge: HTTP status, response time, final URL after redirects, server header and whether the TLS certificate is valid, with an up/down verdict. Call it when a user or agent says "dns.google isn't loading" to tell a real outage from a local problem. $0.01 per check.

## Output

Returns an up/down verdict for dns.google along with the HTTP status code, response time in milliseconds, final URL after any redirects, the server header value, and whether the TLS certificate is currently valid — all measured from Cloudflare's edge network.
