Checks whether a domain's DNS is hosted by Tencent by resolving NS records via Cloudflare DoH and matching against Tencent nameserver patterns, returning a yes/no result with matched nameservers.

## 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-tencent-a61c73a6
```

Example prompt: Can you check if example.com's DNS is hosted by Tencent? I need to know whether it uses Tencent nameservers and which ones matched.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to detect Tencent DNS hosting for a domain, such as for vendor intelligence, sales targeting, infrastructure audits, or migration verification. Prefer this over generic NS record lookups when you want structured yes/no Tencent detection with matched nameserver details. Use sibling endpoints for other DNS vendors (e.g. Cloudflare).

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no NS records — returns no match with empty nameserver list
- Cloudflare DoH resolver is unavailable — lookup fails with a resolver error
- Malformed or invalid domain input — returns an error or empty result
- Tencent introduces new nameserver patterns not yet in the matching ruleset — false negatives possible

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by tencent? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against tencent'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 Tencent, the full list of NS records resolved via Cloudflare DoH, and a subset indicating which nameservers matched Tencent's known patterns.
