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 6 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/dns-check: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
