Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bulk DNS Lookup — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, CAA Resolve **full DNS records for many domains in a single run**. Query all the record types that matter — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, CAA, SRV — choose your recursive resolver, and get clean structured JSON back. Built for **DevOps, SRE, security recon, email-deliverability debugging, and domain monitoring**. > Public DNS data only. Read-only queries. No personal data. ### Why this Actor - **All record types in one call** — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, CAA, SRV - **Bulk** — up to 100 domains per run - **Choose your resolver** — Google (8.8.8.8), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Quad9 (9.9.9.9), or system - **Clean structured output** — one row per domain, every record type as its own field - **Per-type error isolation** — one failing type never blocks the rest - **Pay per result** — $0.005 per domain resolved. No subscription. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `domains` | array | Up to 100 bare domains (e.g. `example.com`) | | `domain` | string | Single-domain alternative | | `recordTypes` | array | Which types to query (default: A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, CAA) | | `resolver` | string | `google` / `cloudflare` / `quad9` / `system` (default `google`) | | `timeout` | integer | Per-query timeout in seconds (default `8`) | ```json { "domains": ["example.com", "github.com"], "recordTypes": ["A", "MX", "TXT", "NS"], "resolver": "google" } ```` ### Output One dataset row per domain: `domain`, `recordCount`, `resolver`, then `A`, `AAAA`, `MX`, `NS`, `TXT`, `CNAME`, `SOA`, `CAA`, `SRV` arrays, plus `errors` and `scannedAt`. ```json { "domain": "github.com", "recordCount": 12, "resolver": "google", "A": ["140.82.112.3"], "MX": ["1 aspmx.l.google.com."], "NS": ["dns1.p08.nsone.net.", "..."], "TXT": ["v=spf1 ..."], "errors": {}, "scannedAt": "2026-06-03T..." } ``` ### Use cases - **Email deliverability debugging** — inspect MX, SPF/DKIM/DMARC (TXT), CAA - **Infrastructure mapping** — A/AAAA/NS/CNAME across a domain portfolio - **Migration & monitoring** — snapshot DNS before/after changes - **Security recon** — enumerate mail and name servers for in-scope targets ### Disclaimer For informational purposes only. DNS responses reflect what the chosen resolver returns at query time and may be cached. The operator is not responsible for decisions made from these results. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): List of domains to resolve (max 100). Enter bare domains like 'example.com' — no http:// prefix. ## `domain` (type: `string`): Alternative single-domain input. Use 'domains' for batch. ## `recordTypes` (type: `array`): Which DNS record types to query. Leave default for the common set. ## `resolver` (type: `string`): Which recursive resolver to query. ## `timeout` (type: `integer`): Maximum time to wait for each DNS query. Default: 8. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "example.com", "github.com" ], "recordTypes": [ "A", "AAAA", "MX", "NS", "TXT", "CNAME", "SOA", "CAA" ], "resolver": "google", "timeout": 8 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domains": [ "example.com", "github.com" ], "recordTypes": [ "A", "AAAA", "MX", "NS", "TXT", "CNAME", "SOA", "CAA" ], "resolver": "google", "timeout": 8 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ntriqpro/dns-lookup").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
