## 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-name-d58cc4c7
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the registry details for the .name top-level domain — I need the operator, TLD type, WHOIS server, DNSSEC status, and authoritative nameservers?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured TLD-level metadata specifically for .name — including DNSSEC status, WHOIS/RDAP endpoints, and registry operator identity — without having to parse raw IANA pages or WHOIS output yourself. Prefer it over generic WHOIS tools when you need machine-readable TLD policy details for .name specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream IANA or RDAP service unavailable, returning an error or timeout
- Stale cached data if the registry has recently updated operator or nameserver records
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required before response is returned)

## How this service works

About the .name 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 .name. $0.01 per call.

## Output

A structured response containing .name TLD metadata: registry operator name, TLD classification (generic, country-code, or sponsored), IANA record details, RDAP base URL, WHOIS server hostname, TLD creation date, DNSSEC signing status, and the registry's authoritative nameservers.
