Premium database

Samples

The premium database comes in five forms, which include A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, and PTR records and can be downloaded in CSV. The Premium DNS Database offers all current and historical DNS records.

Subscription type	Description
Daily updates	Include DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, PTR) that have been added during a previous day in the weekly full database for a given date in unified and consistent CSV format. These files are located in the daily_datafeed subdirectory and are named in format: - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz" - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_aaaa_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz" - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_mx_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz" - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_ns_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz", - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_txt_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz", - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_cname_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz", - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_soa_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz", - "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_ptr_database.%DATE%.daily.csv.gz", e.g. "daily_datafeed/premium_dns_database.2021-12-01.daily.csv.gz".
Weekly updates	Include changes in the weekly full database of DNS records compared to the previous period. Includes added, dropped, and modified records since the previous week. These files are named in format: - "premium_dns_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_aaaa_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_mx_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_ns_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_txt_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_cname_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_soa_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_ptr_database.%DATE%.weekly.diff.csv.gz", e.g. "premium_dns_database.2021-12-01.weekly.diff.csv.gz".
Monthly updates	Include changes in the weekly full database of DNS records compared to the previous period. Includes added, dropped, and modified records since the previous month. These files are named in format: - "premium_dns_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_aaaa_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_mx_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_ns_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_txt_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_cname_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_soa_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_ptr_database.%DATE%.monthly.diff.csv.gz", e.g. "premium_dns_database.2021-12-01.monthly.diff.csv.gz".
Weekly Full database	A weekly full database of DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, PTR) collected for the previous 90 days before a given date in a unified and consistent CSV format. These files are named in format: - "premium_dns_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_aaaa_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_mx_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_ns_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_txt_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_cname_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_soa_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_ptr_database.%DATE%.full.csv.gz", e.g. "premium_dns_database.2021-12-01.full.csv.gz".
Monthly Full database	A monthly full database of DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, PTR) collected for the previous 365 days before a given date in a unified and consistent CSV format. These files are named in format: - "premium_dns_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_aaaa_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_mx_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz" - "premium_dns_ns_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_txt_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_cname_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_soa_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz", - "premium_dns_ptr_database.%DATE%.full.%PART%.csv.gz", e.g. "premium_dns_database.2021-12-01.full.1.csv.gz". The %PART% in the filename indicates the part number of the monthly full database. The monthly full database is divided into multiple parts due to its size. Each part file can be unarchived separately and contains a portion of the database. The number of parts depends on the size of the database for a given month.

Note that the weekly and monthly data are derived from the concatenation of the respective daily data and the addition of the first field, the date.
