README

DNS Lookup retrieves published DNS records for any domain, including IPv4 (A), IPv6 (AAAA), and mail exchange (MX) servers. It provides hostnames, priorities, and dual-stack status flags, while paid plans add TXT, CNAME, and nameserver records.

The DNS Lookup API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate dns lookup functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready dns lookup capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.

Quick Start

Using JavaScript

async function callDNSLookupAPI() {
    try {
        const params = new URLSearchParams({
            domain: 'myspace.com',
            type: 'A,MX,TXT'
        });

        const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/dnslookup?${params}`, {
            method: 'GET',
            headers: {
                'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
            }
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    }
}

callDNSLookupAPI();
