## 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-google-cloud-dns-e9b1c9e1
```

Example prompt: Can you check if acme.com is using Google Cloud DNS — I need to know if their DNS is hosted there, and which nameservers matched?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically detect whether a specific domain is using Google Cloud DNS as its authoritative DNS provider, particularly for sales lead qualification, infrastructure auditing, competitive research, or security vendor-detection workflows. It is purpose-built for Google Cloud DNS detection specifically, rather than general NS record retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no NS records — returns no match with empty nameserver list
- DNS lookup timeout or Cloudflare DoH unreachable — service error response
- Invalid or malformed domain input — request rejected
- Domain uses Google Cloud DNS but with custom nameserver aliases — may return false negative

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by google cloud dns? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against google-cloud-dns'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 answer indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by Google Cloud DNS, the full list of NS records found via Cloudflare DoH, and which specific nameservers matched Google Cloud DNS nameserver patterns.
