Reverse DNS Lookup in Google Sheets & Excel — =VERVE("reversednslookup", A2)

What this pulls

Turn IPs into hostnames by the row. =VERVE("reversednslookup", A2) reads PTR records down a column — Google 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.

Ways to use it

Audit a list of domains

Put your domains in a column and fill =VERVE("reversednslookup", 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.

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("reversednslookup", A2)

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same function, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE("reversednslookup", A2)

Fields you can pull

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

Ip=VERVE("reversednslookup", A2, "ip")
Hostname=VERVE("reversednslookup", A2, "hostname")
Ptr=VERVE("reversednslookup", A2, "ptr")
Found=VERVE("reversednslookup", A2, "found")

Reverse DNS Lookup, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Reverse DNS Lookup into a spreadsheet?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("reversednslookup", A2) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.

How many credits does each Reverse DNS Lookup 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 Reverse DNS Lookup at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("reversednslookup", A2) down like any spreadsheet function.

Does Reverse DNS Lookup 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?

Reverse DNS Lookup 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; Reverse DNS Lookup is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
