## 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-shopify-ec930674
```

Example prompt: Is the DNS for shopify-merchant-example.com hosted by Shopify? Check the nameservers and tell me if any of them match Shopify's known patterns.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically determine if a specific domain's DNS is managed by Shopify, particularly for sales prospecting (identifying Shopify customers), migration planning (confirming current DNS provider), or security audits (vendor DNS profiling). Prefer this over manual WHOIS/NS lookups when you need structured yes/no output with matched nameserver details at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no NS records — returns no match with empty nameserver list
- Shopify rotates or adds new nameserver patterns not yet in the matcher — false negatives possible
- DNS lookup failure via Cloudflare DoH — network or timeout error
- Invalid or malformed domain name input — request may error or return no results
- Domain uses Shopify for hosting but not DNS — correctly returns no for DNS layer even if site is Shopify

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by shopify? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against shopify'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 indicator of whether the domain's DNS is hosted by Shopify, the full list of NS records found, and which specific nameservers matched Shopify's known nameserver patterns.
