About the API:
A DNS lookup is initiated when an end user enters a domain name and the resolver translates it into the corresponding identifier—the IP address.
Forward DNS (also known as a forward DNS lookup) is a request that is used to obtain an IP address by searching the domain. This follows the standard DNS query journey when the user types in a web page or sends an email and is provided with the related IP address.
This process allows an end client to translate a domain name or email address into the address of the device that would handle the server-side communication.
The "Get All DNS Records" endpoint returns various DNS record types, including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, and TXT records. The "Get DNS" endpoint allows users to specify a record type and returns data specific to that type, such as IP addresses for A records or mail exchange servers for MX records.
Key fields in the response include "ipAddress" for A records, "nameServer" for NS records, "exchange" for MX records, and "txtDetail" for TXT records. Each field provides specific information related to the queried domain.
The response data is structured in JSON format, with separate arrays for each record type. For example, "aResults" contains A record results, while "mxResults" contains MX record details, making it easy to parse and utilize the data.
The "Get All DNS Records" endpoint requires the "domain" parameter, which should be the root domain without "http," "https," or "www." The "Get DNS" endpoint requires both the "URL" of the website and the "record type" parameter, which can be A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, and others.
The DNS Records Lookup API queries authoritative DNS servers to retrieve the requested records. This ensures that the data is accurate and up-to-date, as it is sourced directly from the servers responsible for managing the domain's DNS information.
Common use cases include verifying domain ownership, troubleshooting DNS issues, enhancing security by identifying blacklisted IPs, and enriching DNS databases for better network management. Users can also monitor changes in DNS records over time.
Users can analyze the returned data to identify IP addresses associated with a domain, check mail servers for email routing, or validate TXT records for authentication purposes. This information can be integrated into security systems or network monitoring tools.
If the API returns partial or empty results, users should check the domain format and ensure it is a valid root domain. Additionally, they can try querying different record types or verify the existence of the domain to troubleshoot potential issues.
To obtain your API key, first sign in to your account and navigate to the API you want to use. From the API's Pricing section, choose a plan and complete the subscription process. Once subscribed, return to the API page and you will see your API Access Key displayed at the top of the documentation page. You can use this key to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
The free trial lasts for 7 days and allows you to make up to 50 API requests.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes. If the API offers a free trial, you will see a "Free 7-Day Trial" option in its Pricing section. The trial lasts for 7 days and allows up to 50 API requests, enabling you to evaluate the API before subscribing to a paid plan.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply go to the Pricing section of the API you're subscribed to and click the "Unsubscribe" button.
Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Once your subscription is canceled, access to the service will end immediately, regardless of any remaining API calls in your quota.
