Retrieve the DNS resolution records for a name. This endpoint returns observed A, AAAA, MX, NS, SOA, and TXT records for the name you provide. You can filter by one or more record types using record_types.

Results are aggregated per record distinct ranges for a record will be grouped into one row of results. For example, if censys.com resolved to 1.1.1.1 from January 1 to January 7 during two different ranges of January 1 to January 3 and January 5 to January 7, and you targeted January 1 through January 7 with your API call, then this endpoint will group those ranges into one entry for the 1.1.1.1 A record in the response.

To retrieve records for a name with each record broken down by time range, use the ranges endpoint.

This endpoint is only available to organizations on the Censys Search and Censys Core plans.
