Overview

This node integrates with the Bedrijfsdata API to retrieve various types of data related to companies, validation services, and miscellaneous other data. Specifically, for the Other Data resource with the Get DNS Scan operation, it fetches DNS scan information directly from a specified domain's DNS records.

This functionality is useful when you want to programmatically obtain DNS-related data for domains, such as verifying domain configurations, checking DNS health, or gathering DNS metadata for security or analytics purposes.

Practical example:
You have a list of domains and want to automate the retrieval of their DNS scan results to monitor changes or detect misconfigurations. Using this node, you can input each domain and get structured DNS data in return.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Name (Required) The domain to scan. Enter the domain name whose DNS records you want to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the DNS scan results for the specified domain. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes DNS record details such as A, MX, TXT, CNAME records, and possibly additional metadata about the domain's DNS configuration.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Bedrijfsdata API.
  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication with the Bedrijfsdata service.
  • Network access to the Bedrijfsdata API endpoint: https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid domain input: The node requires a valid domain name. Ensure the "Domain Name" property is filled correctly.
  • API request failures: Errors may occur if the API key is missing, invalid, or lacks permissions. Verify your API credentials are correctly set up.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API returns unexpected data or errors, check the domain validity and API status.
  • Network issues: Ensure your environment has internet access and can reach the Bedrijfsdata API endpoint.

Common error messages might include:

  • "Failed to fetch cities" or similar messages indicating API request failure (from other operations, but similar patterns apply).
  • NodeOperationError with messages about unexpected API responses or network errors.

Resolving these typically involves verifying inputs, credentials, and network connectivity.
