# ScrapeMole DNS Lookup

> ScrapeMole DNS Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from domains.scrapemole.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Performs live DNS record lookups via DNS-over-HTTPS for any domain or hostname, returning structured DNS records with DNSSEC validation status

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://domains.scrapemole.workers.dev/v1/dns?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-12

- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_6JN2PVMmF5mnF697dFtWV

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 scrapemole-dns-lookup-c47ef0b2
```

Example prompt: Look up the A, MX, and TXT DNS records for stripe.com so I can see what IPs it resolves to and what mail servers it uses.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, authoritative DNS record data via DNS-over-HTTPS with DNSSEC validation status, especially when you want pay-per-call pricing with no subscription and guaranteed no-charge on failures. Prefer over self-hosted DNS resolvers when you need a managed, reliable DoH service with structured JSON output.

## Known failure modes

- NXDOMAIN returned if domain does not exist
- Invalid record type requested returns error
- Payment failure results in no charge and no response
- Rate limiting if too many record types requested (max 8)
- Non-existent subdomain may return NXDOMAIN even if parent domain exists

## How this service works

Pay-per-call domain intelligence for agents: live DNS records (DoH), WHOIS/RDAP registration data (registrar, dates, status, nameservers; no personal data), bulk domain availability (10 names per call) an email security audit (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, BIMI) with a grade, a live SSL/TLS certificate check and subdomains from Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh). USDC via x402; failed calls are never charged.

Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://domains.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms

## Output

A JSON object containing the queried domain name, DNS status (e.g. NOERROR, NXDOMAIN), a map of record types to arrays of record objects (each with name, type, TTL, and data), the resolver used, and whether DNSSEC validation passed.
