## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability tld-info-ly-7696480c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the registry details for the .ly top-level domain — I need to know the registry operator, whether it's a ccTLD or generic TLD, the WHOIS server, DNSSEC signing status, and the official nameservers?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need authoritative TLD-level metadata for .ly (registry operator, WHOIS server, DNSSEC status, nameservers) rather than individual domain WHOIS lookups. Prefer this over general WHOIS tools when the question is about the .ly registry itself — its policies, infrastructure, or IANA classification — not about a specific registered domain name under .ly.

## Known failure modes

- IANA data temporarily unavailable — upstream RDAP/IANA lookup failure returns an error or empty response
- Rate limiting — excessive calls may result in HTTP 429
- Stale data — registry metadata may lag real-world changes if cache is not refreshed
- Malformed response if the .ly registry has an unusual or non-standard IANA record

## How this service works

About the .ly 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 .ly. $0.01 per call.

## Output

Returns structured data about the .ly TLD including: registry operator name, TLD type (ccTLD/generic/sponsored), IANA ID, RDAP base URL, WHOIS server hostname, TLD creation date, DNSSEC signing status (signed/unsigned), and the authoritative nameservers for the registry.
