host-t.com API
Overview
host-t.com provides DNS lookups over plain HTTP GET requests, making it easy to query DNS records without specialized libraries. It returns structured JSON responses for A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and other record types. Ideal for quick DNS debugging or building lightweight network diagnostic tools.
Beginner Tip
No API key needed — just send a GET request with a domain and record type as query parameters. The response is plain JSON, so it works well in any language or even directly from a browser. Great first API for learning DNS concepts programmatically.
