The DNS Validation API is an advanced tool that allows you to query DNS records in real time for any domain and record type. Ideal for developers, network administrators and cybersecurity professionals, this API provides fast, accurate and comprehensive results about a domain's DNS status and configuration.
With just one request, you can get detailed information about a wide variety of DNS records, including:
A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, SOA, MX, SRV, TXT, CAA, NAPTR, PTR, HINFO and A6. This comprehensive coverage allows you to validate mail configurations, verify DNS propagation, ensure security policies such as CAA, and much more.

The DNS Validation API returns detailed information about DNS records for a specified domain and record type. This includes data for record types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and more, providing insights into the domain's DNS configuration and status.
The response data typically includes fields such as record type, domain name, TTL (Time to Live), and the actual record value. These fields help users understand the DNS configuration and its implications for domain functionality.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with each record type represented as an object containing relevant fields. This organization allows for easy parsing and integration into applications or systems.
The DNS Check endpoint requires two parameters: the domain name and the record type. Users can specify any of the supported record types, such as A, MX, or TXT, to customize their queries.
Typical use cases include validating mail server configurations, checking DNS propagation after updates, and ensuring compliance with security policies like CAA records. Network administrators and cybersecurity professionals frequently utilize this data for troubleshooting and monitoring.
Data accuracy is maintained through continuous updates from authoritative DNS servers worldwide. The API aggregates this information to ensure users receive the most current and reliable DNS records for their queries.
Users can utilize the returned data by analyzing the DNS records to troubleshoot issues, verify configurations, or monitor changes. For example, checking MX records can help ensure email delivery is correctly set up for a domain.
If users encounter partial or empty results, they should verify the domain name and record type for accuracy. Additionally, they may want to check if the DNS records are properly configured or if there are propagation delays affecting visibility.
