DNS Lookup

Using cURL (all servers):

curl "https://dns.enhost.uk/?domain=enhost.uk&type=A"

Query a single server:

curl "https://dns.enhost.uk/?domain=enhost.uk&type=A&server=cloudflare"

List available servers:

curl "https://dns.enhost.uk/?servers=1"

Extract records with jq:

curl -s "https://dns.enhost.uk/?domain=enhost.uk&type=A" | jq -r '.results[].result.Answer[]?.data' | sort -u

Bash script example:

#!/bin/bash

DOMAIN="enhost.uk"
TYPE="A"

# Query DNS across all servers
RESULT=$(curl -s "https://dns.enhost.uk/?domain=$DOMAIN&type=$TYPE")

# Show what each server returned and how it was reached
echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.results | to_entries[] |
    "\(.value.name) [\(.value.protocol)]: \(.value.result.Answer[]?.data // "no records")"'

Python example:

import requests

domain = "enhost.uk"
record_type = "A"

response = requests.get(
    "https://dns.enhost.uk/",
    params={"domain": domain, "type": record_type}
)

data = response.json()

for server_id, server in data["results"].items():
    result = server["result"]

    if "Answer" in result:
        records = ", ".join(r["data"] for r in result["Answer"])
    else:
        records = result.get("error", "no records")

    print(f"{server['name']} ({server['protocol']}): {records}")

JavaScript example:

const domain = 'enhost.uk';
const recordType = 'A';

fetch(`https://dns.enhost.uk/?domain=${domain}&type=${recordType}`)
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(data => {
        for (const [id, server] of Object.entries(data.results)) {
            const records = server.result.Answer
                ? server.result.Answer.map(r => r.data).join(', ')
                : (server.result.error || 'no records');
            console.log(`${server.name} [${server.protocol}]: ${records}`);
        }
    });

PHP example:

<?php
$domain = 'enhost.uk';
$type = 'A';

$url = "https://dns.enhost.uk/?domain=" . urlencode($domain) .
       "&type=" . urlencode($type);

$response = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($response, true);

foreach ($data['results'] as $id => $server) {
    $records = isset($server['result']['Answer'])
        ? implode(', ', array_column($server['result']['Answer'], 'data'))
        : ($server['result']['error'] ?? 'no records');

    echo "{$server['name']} [{$server['protocol']}]: $records\n";
}
?>
