RIPE DNS Chain Lookup

This skill queries the RIPE Stat API to retrieve the DNS chain for a specific domain name.

When to Use

• To troubleshoot DNS resolution issues.
• To verify the delegation chain of a domain.

Execution

Set the resource variable in the variables argument to the domain name you wish to query (e.g., www.ippacket.org).

import requests
import json
import sys

resource = locals().get("resource") or (sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else None)

if resource:
    response = requests.get("https://stat.ripe.net/data/dns-chain/data.json", params={"resource": resource})
    print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=2))
else:
    print("Error: The 'resource' variable is required. Please provide it in the 'variables' argument.")

Input

• resource: The domain name to query (e.g., www.ippacket.org).

Output

A JSON object containing:

• status: Request status.
• data: Contains forward_nodes and reverse_nodes lists with DNS resolution details.
