A DNS Check API is essential for a variety of scenarios. Network professionals can use it to diagnose problems, such as finding and correcting DNS misconfigurations.
DNS Check API retrieves DNS records for a given domain.
The DNS Lookup endpoint returns a JSON object containing various DNS record types for a specified domain, including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, TXT, and CAA records.
Key fields in the response include "record_type" (indicating the type of DNS record), "value" (the record's value), and for SOA records, additional fields like "mname," "rname," "serial," "refresh," "retry," "expire," and "ttl."
The response data is organized as an array of objects, each representing a DNS record. Each object contains fields relevant to the specific record type, allowing users to easily access and interpret the information.
The DNS Lookup endpoint provides information on various DNS records, including IP addresses (A/AAAA), mail server configurations (MX), name servers (NS), and text records (TXT), among others.
Users can customize their data requests by specifying the domain URL in the parameter when making a GET request to the DNS Lookup endpoint, allowing for targeted DNS record retrieval.
In the response, "record_type" indicates the type of DNS record, "value" provides the record's data, and for SOA records, fields like "mname" and "rname" denote the primary name server and responsible party, respectively.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and checks against authoritative DNS servers, ensuring that the information retrieved reflects the current state of the domain's DNS configuration.
Typical use cases include troubleshooting network issues, verifying email server configurations, monitoring domain changes, and conducting security audits to detect unauthorized DNS modifications.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used 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.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
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, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
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.
