> TLD Info: .cloud is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Returns registry metadata for the .cloud top-level domain, including operator, type, IANA/RDAP details, WHOIS server, creation date, DNSSEC status, and 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 tld-info-cloud-44755637
```

Example prompt: What's the registry operator and WHOIS server for the .cloud top-level domain, and is it DNSSEC-signed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative IANA/RDAP-level metadata specifically about the .cloud TLD itself (not about a specific .cloud domain registration). Prefer this over generic WHOIS lookups when you need structured registry operator details, DNSSEC policy status, or RDAP server discovery for .cloud. It is purpose-built for .cloud and returns richer structured data than a raw WHOIS text query.

## Known failure modes

- IANA data unavailable — upstream IANA or RDAP service is down, returning an error or empty response
- Network timeout — the dns.intel.rallylive.ca host is unreachable
- Payment failure — the $0.01 USDC x402 payment was not accepted, returning a 402 response
- Unexpected schema change — IANA changes the format of TLD metadata, causing parsing failures

## How this service works

About the .cloud 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 .cloud. $0.01 per call.

## Output

A structured record describing the .cloud TLD including: registry operator name, TLD type (generic/country-code/sponsored), IANA ID, RDAP base URL, WHOIS server hostname, creation date, DNSSEC signing status (signed or unsigned), and the registry's authoritative nameservers.
