CNAME Record Checker - Check & Validate Online OpenAPI definition

OpenAPI is a standard for designing and describing RESTful APIs, allowing developers to define API structure, endpoints, and data formats in a machine-readable way. It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.

OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.

By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.

You can download the OpenAPI definitions for CNAME Record Checker from the options below:

OpenAPI.json

If you’d like to learn more about how OpenAPI powers GPTs, read our blog post.

DNS Lookup | Scrape Domain Records & Security Intelligence

datascoutapi/dns-lookup

DNS lookup scrapes 22 data points including 10 DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, SRV, PTR, CAA) + email security analysis ( SPF/DKIM/DMARC), SSL certificate checker, domain monitoring. Processes 100 domains per batch with security scoring.

DNS Propagation Checker

automation-lab/dns-propagation-checker

This actor checks DNS propagation by querying multiple public DNS resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, OpenDNS, AdGuard, and more). It compares results across 10 resolvers to determine if DNS changes have fully propagated. Supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, and TXT record types.
