## 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 tld-info-au-eb532109
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the registry details for the .au top-level domain — I need to know who the registry operator is, whether DNSSEC is enabled, and what WHOIS server to use?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative registry-level metadata specifically for the .au TLD — such as verifying the registry operator, DNSSEC status, WHOIS server, or RDAP endpoint for policy research, compliance checks, or domain registration due diligence. Prefer this over general WHOIS lookups when you need structured TLD-level metadata rather than per-domain registration data.

## Known failure modes

- IANA data temporarily unavailable — service may return a 503 or empty response
- Network timeout if upstream DNS/IANA sources are slow
- Stale cache data if IANA recently updated .au records
- Payment not processed — 402 response if x402 payment header is missing or invalid

## How this service works

About the .au top-level domain: registry operator, type (generic, country-code, sponsored), IANA/RDAP details, WHOIS server, creation date, DNSSEC signing status and the registry's nameservers. Registration research and TLD-policy checks for .au. $0.01 per call.

## Output

Returns structured metadata about the .au TLD including: the registry operator name, TLD type classification (e.g. country-code), IANA and RDAP endpoint URLs, the authoritative WHOIS server hostname, the TLD creation date, DNSSEC signing status (signed or unsigned), and the registry's authoritative nameservers.
