  title: CompleteDNS API v1 DNS History API
  description: The CompleteDNS API v1 returns the historical nameserver record for a domain (legacy version). The service tracks nameserver changes and domain drops and returns chronologically ordered events for a queried domain. Authentication is via an API key passed as a query string parameter. CompleteDNS recommends using the v2 API for new integrations.
