# Check SPF, DMARC, DKIM and MX records of domains

**Use case:** 

Checks the two sample domains: A, NS, MX and CAA records, SPF and DMARC, DKIM keys under the default selectors, MTA-STS and BIMI, and the HTTPS certificate expiry. Each domain gets a plain list of the problems found. Swap in your own domains.

## Input

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com",
    "example.com"
  ],
  "dkimSelectors": [
    "default",
    "google",
    "selector1",
    "selector2",
    "k1",
    "k2",
    "s1",
    "s2",
    "dkim",
    "mail"
  ],
  "checkCertificate": true,
  "certificateWarningDays": 21
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "domain": {
    "label": "Domain",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "ok": {
    "label": "Checked",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "issueCount": {
    "label": "Issues",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "issues": {
    "label": "Issue list",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "spf.record": {
    "label": "SPF",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "dmarc.policy": {
    "label": "DMARC policy",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "certificate.daysToExpiry": {
    "label": "Certificate days left",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error",
    "format": "text"
  }
}
```

## How it works

### 1. Sign up on Apify or log in

The Domain DNS and Email Check: SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX and SSL Actor is ready to run with the inputs already set for "Check SPF, DMARC, DKIM and MX records of domains". [Sign up or log in](https://console.apify.com/create-task-from-example/Tx9bjeAbyjNA3QO7B) and you'll land in Apify Console with a copy of this exact task.

### 2. Start the "Check SPF, DMARC, DKIM and MX records of domains" task

The Domain DNS and Email Check: SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX and SSL Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like domains, DKIM selectors, and more, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Check SPF, DMARC, DKIM and MX records of domains" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as domain, checked, issues, and more.

### 4. Integrate into your workflow

The final output is delivered in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, ready to be plugged into your workflow. You can also [run the "Check SPF, DMARC, DKIM and MX records of domains" task via API](https://apify.com/examsens.ai/domain-dns-check.md).

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Domain DNS and Email Check: SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX and SSL](https://apify.com/examsens.ai/domain-dns-check.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/examsens.ai/domain-dns-check.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/examsens.ai/domain-dns-check.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
