DNS feature allows collecting DNS information and records for any web scraped target website. It's useful for monitoring and tracking DNS changes.

Note that enabling DNS may slow down scraping speed.

DNS details can also be found in the monitoring dashboard logs under the DNS tab:

NodeJS HTTP 
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  "dns": true,
  "key": "__API_KEY__",
  "url": "https://web-scraping.dev/",
});

const url = "https://api.scrapfly.io/scrape?" + params.toString();

const options = {
  method: "GET",
};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);

  if (!response.ok) {
    const errorData = await response.json();
    const errorMsg = errorData.message || errorData.description || 'Request failed';
    throw new Error(`HTTP error ${response.status}: ${errorMsg}`);
  }

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);

  // Access the scrape result
  if (data.result) {
    console.log(data.result);
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Error:", error.message);
  throw error;
}
