## 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 pocket-network-dns-whois-rdap-lookup-56b3b29e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all the DNS records and registration details for stripe.com — I want to see the A, MX, TXT, and NS records along with who registered it and when?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both DNS records and RDAP/WHOIS registration data combined in one API call with no API key setup, paying per request in USDC. Ideal for agents that need deterministic, on-demand domain intelligence without managing credentials or subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or does not exist — returns empty or error response
- Invalid domain format supplied — validation error
- RDAP data unavailable for certain TLDs — partial response with DNS records only
- Network timeout reaching authoritative DNS servers
- Rate limiting or payment failure for USDC transaction

## How this service works

Domain intelligence: DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA) plus RDAP registration data. POST /v1/dns with a {domain} and get the records and registration as one JSON object. Deterministic per lookup instant. Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

## Output

A single JSON object containing all available DNS record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA) for the queried domain alongside RDAP registration data including registrar, registration date, expiry date, and registrant information.
