> is-dns-hosted-by-netlify is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

## 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-netlify-6a384e7f
```

Example prompt: Is the DNS for acme.com hosted by Netlify? Check its nameservers and tell me if any of them match Netlify's nameserver patterns.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, cheap ($0.01) single-domain detection of Netlify DNS hosting, especially for sales prospecting, migration planning, or security audits. Prefer it over generic NS lookup endpoints when you specifically need Netlify vendor classification with matched nameserver evidence, rather than raw DNS data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed domain name returns an error
- Domain does not exist (NXDOMAIN) results in no NS records and a 'no' result
- Cloudflare DoH upstream timeout causes lookup failure
- Domain has no NS records returns 'no' with empty matched list
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) prevents the lookup

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by netlify? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against netlify'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 boolean yes/no indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by Netlify, the full list of NS records retrieved via Cloudflare DoH, and which specific nameservers matched Netlify's known nameserver patterns.
