Retrieve the records that resolved for a name during a time frame. 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.

Record results are broken down based on time range. 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 return one row for each of those distinct ranges for the 1.1.1.1 A record.

To retrieve records for a name with each result aggregated per record, use the bounds endpoint endpoint.

In a SOC environment, use this endpoint to see when a domain's records changed over time, such as a sudden hosting move after takedown.

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