MX Lookup in a Cell

Domain Data5 credits/cellSheets · Excel
=VERVE("mxlookup", A2)

Pull mail-server records by the row. =VERVE("mxlookup", A2) returns live MX priority and host for a whole column — Sheets or Excel, auto-refreshing.

It's one of 300+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE()function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 5 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — these inputs, and the values they land in your sheet.

Audit a list of domains

Put your domains in a column and fill =VERVE("mxlookup", A2) 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.

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("mxlookup", A2)

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

  • Domain=VERVE("mxlookup", A2, "domain")
  • Mx=VERVE("mxlookup", A2, "mx")

MX Lookup in a Cell, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull MX Lookup in a Cell into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("mxlookup", A2) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each MX Lookup in a Cell cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 5 credits. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point MX Lookup in a Cell at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("mxlookup", A2) down like any spreadsheet function.
Does MX Lookup in a Cell work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
MX Lookup in a Cell is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; MX Lookup in a Cell is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put MX Lookup in a Cell in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
