Using the https://ens.domains/ is there a way to query the ENS name service using an API endpoint and get a JSON response? I want to be able to integrate these eth addresses into my application.

Cindercloud has a rest-endpoint which is specifically designed for this.

that requires signing up for that service. etherscan.io/enslookup -- etherscan has a free lookup tool, but i'm not sure how to output the json api Jun 10, 2019 at 16:19

Instead of using the rapidapi endpoint, you can also use api.cinder.cloud. It's rate limited, but free.– QkyrieJun 11, 2019 at 8:19

Looks like you own that api restpoint, hence the bias. thanks anyways. I want to just do a simple call to retrieve what a .eth domain resolves to. why is it so difficult to do? Jun 11, 2019 at 14:45

I do indeed. It's not that difficult, it's just calling the ENSResolver contract on chain with the correct data, but you asked for an API endpoint which returns a json result and I happen to have something like that, which is why I proposed it as a solution :)– QkyrieJun 12, 2019 at 14:13

Do I need to install any other js libraries or sign up for some token key id? Jun 12, 2019 at 15:24
Old question, but this was the first result on Google. Since 2019, Cloudflare now hosts a free Ethereum web resolver. You can read more here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-distributed-web-resolver/
The ethers.js project is a fantastic, easy to use, web-ready Ethereum client that supports many providers, one of which being a CloudflareProvider (https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/providers/api-providers/#CloudflareProvider)
So resolving an ENS address to a wallet address is now as easy as:
- Install ethers.js, with yarn for example:
yarn add ethers
- Import the module:
import { ethers } from 'ethers'
- Resolve:
const provider = new ethers.providers.CloudflareProvider()
const address = await provider.resolveName('mydomain.eth')
Happy coding :)
