Introduction¶

Welcome to Toolkit API — a suite of 15+ specialised APIs designed for developers who need reliable, well-documented endpoints for common tasks. DNS lookups, web scraping, image processing, email validation, PDF manipulation, and more — all through a single API key and consistent design.

Overview¶

Toolkit API is organised into focused toolkits, each serving a specific domain:

Key Features¶

• Single API key — One key works across all 15+ toolkits
• Consistent design — Every endpoint follows the same request/response patterns
• No rate surprises — Transparent rate limits on every plan
• Fast responses — Sub-100ms for most endpoints, globally distributed
• Comprehensive errors — Structured JSON error responses with actionable messages

Quick Start¶

Make your first API call in under 60 seconds:

# 1. Get your API key from RapidAPI
# 2. Make a DNS lookup
curl "https://dns.toolkitapi.io/v1/lookup?domain=toolkitapi.io&type=A" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

# Python — same thing with httpx
import httpx

r = httpx.get(
    "https://dns.toolkitapi.io/v1/lookup",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY"},
    params={"domain": "toolkitapi.io", "type": "A"},
)
print(r.json())

// JavaScript — fetch API
const params = new URLSearchParams({ domain: "toolkitapi.io", type: "A" });
const r = await fetch(`https://dns.toolkitapi.io/v1/lookup?${params}`, {
  headers: { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY" },
});
console.log(await r.json());

{
  "domain": "toolkitapi.io",
  "record_type": "A",
  "records": [
    {"type": "A", "value": "93.184.216.34", "ttl": 3600}
  ],
  "query_time_ms": 15
}

Base URLs¶

Each toolkit lives on its own subdomain:

Response Format¶

All endpoints return JSON. Successful responses always include the requested data at the top level:

{
  "domain": "toolkitapi.io",
  "records": [
    {"type": "A", "value": "93.184.216.34", "ttl": 3600}
  ]
}

Error responses use standard HTTP status codes with a detail message:

{
  "detail": "Invalid domain format"
}
