Resolve IPs to Hostnames in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Turn IP addresses into hostnames by the row. Returns the FQDN for each IP — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Audit a list of domains

Put your domains in a column and fill =VERVE("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "baseDomain") to pull each one's records or health into the grid — a whole portfolio checked at once.

Enrich a prospect sheet

Add domain intelligence beside your leads so sales or security can sort and prioritize without leaving the sheet.

Monitor on a schedule

Let auto-refresh re-check every domain periodically so a monitoring sheet flags changes on its own.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "baseDomain")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "baseDomain")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Tld
=VERVE("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "tld")
Subdomain
=VERVE("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "subdomain")
Domain Levels
=VERVE("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "domainLevels")

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Resolve IPs to Hostnames into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("fullyqualifieddomain", "199.30.24.0", "field", "tld") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Resolve IPs to Hostnames?

Resolve IPs to Hostnames returns tld, subdomain and domainLevels — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I fill a whole column of Resolve IPs to Hostnames at once?

Yes. Put your ip values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Resolve IPs to Hostnames cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Resolve IPs to Hostnames work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
