## 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-download-04831e58
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the registry details for the .download top-level domain — I need to know who operates it, whether it's generic or country-code, its WHOIS server, DNSSEC status, and when it was created?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need authoritative registry metadata for the .download TLD — such as finding the correct WHOIS server, confirming DNSSEC support, or identifying the registry operator for policy or compliance purposes. Prefer this over general WHOIS lookups when you need structured, machine-readable TLD-level (not domain-level) data.

## Known failure modes

- Network timeout reaching the DNS intel service — returns connection error
- Service unavailable (5xx) if the upstream IANA or RDAP source is unreachable
- Payment failure if the $0.01 USDC x402 payment is not completed — returns 402 Payment Required
- Unexpected schema changes if IANA updates the .download TLD record structure

## How this service works

About the .download 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 .download. $0.01 per call.

## Output

Returns structured metadata about the .download 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/unsigned), and the authoritative nameservers for the registry.
