Dns Propagation Checker API

Network tool

POST https://api.findutils.com/api/tools/dns-propagation-checker/execute

Compare one DNS record type for a domain across two named public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers (Google Public DNS at dns.google and Cloudflare at cloudflare-dns.com): each resolver's response code, values and TTLs, whether they agree, and which resolver returned each value. Two resolvers are not a global propagation map.
