DNS Records Lookup API

DNS Records Lookup API

DNS Records Lookup queries the specified DNS server and retrieves the requested records that are associated with the domain name you provided. These records contain information like the domain name’s IP addresses.

API description

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.  

 

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

 This API receives the domains name and it will deliver all the DNS records that are available or related to it:

The following types of DNS records are especially useful:

  • A: the IPv4 address of the domain.
  • AAAA: the domain’s IPv6 address.
  • CNAME: the canonical name — allowing one domain name to map onto another. This allows more than one website to refer to a single web server.
  • MX: the server that handles email for the domain.
  • NS: one or more authoritative name server records for the domain.
  • TXT: a record containing information for use outside the DNS server. The content takes the form name=value. This information is used for many things including authentication schemes such as SPF and DKIM.

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

 

 

Security issues can be handled by DNS lookup. You will be able to detect any DNS record associated with a Domain. If you know beforehand if an IP address is blacklisted, you can detect that IP address to the domain you are looking for and you can block any connections with them. 

Also, you can enrich your DNS databases, and you will be able to know if any IP that wants to connect with you or your products is allowed by you.  

 

Are there any limitations to your plans?
