Example

How to call the SRV Record Parser API in different programming languages.

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/srvparser" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "record": "_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 60 80 server.example.com."

Response Data Fields

When the request is successful, the data object contains the following fields:

Headers

Only X-API-Key is required. Optional headers include Accept for response format negotiation (JSON, XML, or YAML), User-Agent, and X-Request-ID for request tracing. See all request headers →

GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access SRV Record Parser through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the srv record parser data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql

query {
  srvparser(
    input: {
      record: "_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 60 80 server.example.com."
    }
  ) {
    raw_record
    parsed {
      name
      service
      protocol
      domain
      ttl
      class
      priority
      weight
      port
      target
    }
    service_info {
      name
      description
      default_port
    }
    interpretation {
      priority_explanation
      weight_explanation
      target_explanation
    }
    is_valid
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The SRV Record Parser API accepts cross-origin requests from any origin, so it can be called directly from browser-based applications without a proxy. See CORS support →

Rate Limiting

SRV Record Parser requests are throttled per minute on the Free plan and unthrottled on paid plans. Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests; rate-limit usage is reported in the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. See per-plan limits and best practices →

Error Codes

The SRV Record Parser API uses standard HTTP status codes — 200 on success, 400 for invalid parameters, 401 for missing or invalid keys, 403 for insufficient credits, 429 for rate-limit exhaustion, and 500/503 for server-side issues. Each error response includes an X-Request-ID header you can quote when contacting support. See full error handling guide →
