## 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-hosted-by-enom-7d46b643
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether example.com has its DNS hosted by eNom — I need to know if the nameservers match eNom's patterns and which ones matched?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to detect whether a domain is using eNom as its DNS host, particularly for sales prospecting, pre-migration audits, or vendor security reviews. It is purpose-built for eNom vendor detection using live NS record lookups via Cloudflare DoH, making it more reliable than guessing from WHOIS data alone. Prefer this over generic NS lookup tools when the goal is a definitive eNom yes/no answer with matched nameserver details.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no NS records — returns empty nameserver list and no match
- Network or Cloudflare DoH lookup failure — may return an error or timeout
- Invalid domain format provided — likely returns a validation error
- Domain uses private or custom nameservers that partially resemble eNom patterns — may produce ambiguous match results

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by enom? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against enom's nameserver patterns, returning yes/no, the nameservers and which ones matched. Vendor detection for sales, migration and security work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no flag indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by eNom, along with the full list of NS records retrieved via Cloudflare DoH and a subset showing which nameservers matched eNom's known patterns.
