## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability tld-info-edu-42ea3f2c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the official registry details for the .edu top-level domain — I want to know who operates it, whether it's sponsored, its DNSSEC status, WHOIS server, and when it was created?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured metadata specifically about the .edu top-level domain — its registry operator, sponsorship type, DNSSEC posture, WHOIS/RDAP access points, and nameservers — rather than doing a WHOIS lookup on a specific .edu domain. Ideal for TLD policy research, compliance checks, or building DNS tooling that needs .edu registry context.

## Known failure modes

- IANA/RDAP upstream unavailable — returns an error or empty response
- Network timeout from the Cloudflare DoH or RDAP lookup layer
- Unexpected TLD metadata format causing parsing failure
- Rate limiting if called excessively in short period

## How this service works

About the .edu 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 .edu. $0.01 per call.

## Output

Returns structured information about the .edu TLD including the registry operator name, TLD type classification (generic/sponsored/country-code), IANA and RDAP endpoint details, WHOIS server hostname, original creation date, DNSSEC signing status (signed/unsigned), and the authoritative nameservers for the .edu zone.
