Overview

About the API:  

Domain Verify Tools API is a powerful and versatile API designed to provide detailed and essential domain data, facilitating the efficient management and analysis of a domain's infrastructure. From verifying domain availability to analyzing DNS and WHOIS records, this API allows users, businesses and network administrators to access critical information to make informed decisions about domain management and web security.

One of the main uses of Domain Verify Tools is to verify domain availability.
With a simple use of the API, you can determine if a domain is available for purchase or if it is already registered by another person or entity. This is crucial for businesses looking to create an online presence and need to ensure that their desired domain is available. The API provides real-time results, ensuring that the information is accurate and up to date.

Another important feature offered by Domain Verify Tools is the ability to analyze MX (Mail Exchange) records. MX records are essential for the email management of a domain. These records indicate which servers are in charge of receiving and handling emails for that domain. With DomainTools, it is possible to query the MX records for any domain to see which servers are configured and their priority. This information is valuable for verifying that the email configuration is appropriate or for diagnosing problems related to receiving emails.

A (Address) records are also managed and provided by Domain Verify Tools. This type of record is key to linking a domain to a specific IP address. In essence, A records allow users typing a domain name into their browser to be redirected to the correct web server. By querying the A records for a domain, you can obtain information about the IP address to which that domain points. This is useful not only for configuring domains correctly, but also for performing security audits, tracking suspicious activity or investigating potential cyber threats.

In short, Domain Verify Tools is a comprehensive tool for domain management and web security. With the ability to verify domain availability, analyze MX and A records, query WHOIS data, and assess domain security and reputation, this API is essential for anyone working in domain management, cyber security or web data analysis. By centralizing all this information in a single API, DomainTools facilitates quick and well-informed decision making, improving efficiency and security in domain management.

 

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

The API receives email addresses or domains as input and provides validation, availability, DNS records (MX, A) and WHOIS data as output.

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

  1.  Domain Availability Check: Companies that are launching new projects or brands can use DomainTools to check if the desired domain names are available before proceeding with registration. This avoids conflicts or surprises when finding that a domain has already been registered.

    Email setup and maintenance: System administrators can use the API to query and verify a domain's MX records, ensuring that emails are sent to the correct server. This is useful for initial configuration or troubleshooting issues related to receiving emails.

    DNS configuration audit: Companies migrating their infrastructure to a new hosting provider can audit their DNS records, including A records, to ensure that domains are correctly linked to IP addresses on the new server.

    Domain ownership investigation: Legal or compliance professionals can use WHOIS functionality to investigate domain ownership and history, which is useful in legal disputes, fraud investigations or domain purchases.

    Domain reputation analysis: Cybersecurity companies can use DomainTools to investigate the reputation of a domain before allowing it to connect to their internal networks or critical systems, avoiding potential phishing threats

     

Are there any limitations to your plans?

Besides the number of API calls per month, there is a limitation of 5 requests per second. 

Domain Verify Tools API FAQs

To use this API, send POST requests to Dns Validate for DNS records and to Whois Query for WHOIS data, providing the domain as a parameter.

The Domain Verify Tools API validates domains, verifies DNS records (MX, A, NS) and provides WHOIS data, assisting in domain management and analysis.

Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.

The API returns the detected language and a confidence level on the accuracy of the text detection.

There are different plans suits everyone including a free trial for small amount of requests, but it’s rate is limit to prevent abuse of the service.

The Dns Validate endpoint returns DNS configuration details, including MX, A, and NS records for the specified domain. The response includes a status code and a message containing the relevant record information.

The Whois Query response includes key fields such as domain_name, registrar, updated_date, creation_date, expiration_date, name_servers, organization, and status. These fields provide comprehensive details about the domain's registration and ownership.

The response from the Dns Validate endpoint is structured as a JSON object, containing a statusCode and a message array. The message array lists the MX records in order of priority, allowing users to easily interpret the email server configuration.

The Whois Query endpoint provides information about domain ownership, registration details, name servers, and domain status. This includes historical data such as creation and expiration dates, which are essential for legal and compliance checks.

The Dns Validate endpoint accepts a single parameter: the domain name to be validated. Users must provide a valid domain format to receive accurate DNS record information in the response.

Users can analyze the returned data to verify domain ownership, check registration status, and assess potential legal issues. For example, the registrar information can help in contacting the domain owner for negotiations or disputes.

The Domain Verify Tools API sources its data from authoritative DNS servers and WHOIS databases. This ensures that the information regarding domain availability and DNS records is accurate and up-to-date.

Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from reliable sources, including DNS registrars and WHOIS databases. The API also implements validation checks to ensure that the returned information reflects the current state of the domain.
