DNS Check

DNS Check is a domain DNS monitoring service that lets teams monitor, share, and troubleshoot DNS records across multiple record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, TXT). The platform detects unresponsive name servers, incorrect IP addresses, missing or duplicated records, SPF record problems, and out-of-sync name servers, with notifications when records change or fail. The DNS Check REST API provides programmatic access to DNS record and DNS record group monitoring using a 32-character API key passed as a query parameter.

DNS Check publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: DNS Record Monitoring API. Tagged areas include DNS, DNS Monitoring, Domain Monitoring, DNS Records, and Infrastructure Monitoring.

DNS Check’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, and 5 more developer resources.
