A DNS lookup API provides developers with a way to programmatically query DNS records and retrieve information associated with a domain name, simplifying tasks such as IP address retrieval, MX record lookup, and network troubleshooting.
A DNS lookup API can be used to monitor the health and status of domains by performing regular DNS lookups. It helps detect any DNS-related issues or changes, such as incorrect configurations or DNS resolution failures.
⬤IP address lookup
DNS lookup APIs can be used to retrieve the corresponding IP address(es) associated with a domain name. This information can be valuable for various networking and security purposes, such as identifying the origin or location of a domain.
⬤Email validation
DNS lookup APIs can help validate email addresses by performing DNS lookups on the domain's Mail Exchanger (MX) records. This helps verify if the domain has a valid email server setup and can receive email.
⬤Network troubleshooting
DNS lookup APIs can aid in network troubleshooting by retrieving DNS records, such as Address (A) records, Canonical Name (CNAME) records, or Name Server (NS) records. These records can help identify issues with DNS resolution, misconfigurations, or DNS propagation delays.
