## What is Softricks iDig?

iDig is a suite of products - with a robust 20 endpoint API at the base, Mobild apps, an AI Agent and a MCP Server - all serving a  This is an iPhone App, which presents a unified view of DNS Resolution, Records and WHOIS information for a domain in an easy-to-understand way. It does not simply dump the raw output of the 'dig' command in UNIX. The Softricks iDig API that the App uses, fires off multiple requests and compiles data and provides diagnostics. The API also provides a Batch feature with async jobs to process bulk Domain queries.

- DNSKEY inventory with KSK/ZSK breakdown and key tags
- RRSIG expiry tracking with days-remaining alerts
- Algorithm assessment with migration recommendations
- Rollover readiness and DS-at-parent verification
