Domain7 capabilities
  • Add a domain to monitoring

    Adds a domain to the token account's monitoring and returns the ownership TXT record to publish. Requires a credential with the domains:manage scope.

  • Build the next safe DMARC record for a domain

    The next safe DMARC record (alignment-gated) with the rationale. The record can be null; then the rationale is the answer.

  • Check whether a domain ownership record is visible

    Re-checks the ownership TXT record and marks the domain verified on a match. A transient outcome is our lookup, never a verdict about the DNS.

  • Get the records a monitored domain still needs

    The ownership record while unverified, and the DMARC reporting record once verified. Read-only.

  • Get a monitoring signup link for a domain

    A link that carries the domain into paid monitoring, for a human to open. Nothing is created and no email is sent.

  • Get the persisted report for a domain

    The last persisted report, or a fresh scan when none exists

  • Scan a domain

    SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, DNS health, blacklists and expiry with deterministic per-check verdicts and copy-paste fix records

Tool8 capabilities
  • Audit an SPF include chain

    Walk every include and redirect and report who can transitively send as the domain, with typed findings

  • Check a DKIM selector

    Read one DKIM selector and report the key and its strength

  • Check a DNS record

    Read one record at the authoritative nameservers and at public resolvers, with TTLs and whether they agree

  • Check DNS propagation

    Read one name from six locations on four continents and report whether a change has propagated

  • Check reverse DNS for an IP

    The PTR record of an IP address and whether it is forward-confirmed

  • Count SPF DNS lookups

    The DNS lookups an SPF record spends against the limit of 10, term by term

  • Look up a domain registration

    Read the registry over RDAP for registrar, dates, EPP status codes, nameservers and DNSSEC

  • Validate a DMARC record

    Parse a DMARC record and report its tags, policy, warnings and errors

Monitoring2 capabilities
  • Get monitoring alerts

    Alerts for your monitored domains, newest first, with a paging cursor. Needs an API token.

  • Get DMARC enforcement readiness

    Whether a monitored domain is ready for the next DMARC policy step, from its aggregate reports. Needs an API token.
