GET  /accounts/{id}/dns
POST /accounts/{id}/dns
```

`GET` returns the last 10 DNS checks for the account, newest first, plus `latest` as a convenience (the first item of `history`, or `null`). `POST` re-runs the check now and returns `{ "result": { … } }`, or `400` with the error text if the check could not run.

```json
{
  "latest": {
    "id": "b1e7c2a4-0c3e-4c0a-9a6f-2b7d8e5f1a33",
    "accountId": "3a6f9e2e-4b7a-4e9a-9b1d-6e3a2f8c1a10",
    "domain": "yourdomain.com",
    "checkedAt": "2026-09-11T08:14:00.000Z",
    "spfStatus": "pass",
    "spfRecord": "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all",
    "dkimStatus": "none",
    "dkimSelector": null,
    "dkimRecord": null,
    "dmarcStatus": "pass",
    "dmarcRecord": "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com",
    "mxStatus": "pass",
    "mxRecords": ["aspmx.l.google.com"],
    "findings": [],
    "overallStatus": "warn"
  },
  "history": [ { "id": "b1e7c2a4-0c3e-4c0a-9a6f-2b7d8e5f1a33", "…": "same shape as latest" } ]
}
```

Each record status (SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX) is `pass`, `none`, `fail` or `error`; `overallStatus` is `pass`, `warn` or `fail`. `mxStatus` is `null` on older checks. Two things to know before you treat a result as a verdict:

- `error` means DNS did not answer (timeout or resolver problem), **not** that the record is wrong. Re-check rather than re-publishing records.
- `dkimStatus: "none"` can mean "present but under a selector Warmerly could not guess", the check tries a list of common selector names and cannot discover an arbitrary one. Set `dkimSelector` on the account (see [Update an account](https://warmerly.com/docs/accounts/dns-and-domain-checks#update-an-account)) and re-check.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX are checked here, and if the account has a tracking domain its CNAME is re-verified on the same run. Everything each record does, and the order to publish them in, is in the [DNS records checklist](https://warmerly.com/docs/guides/dns-records).
