```

### with progress bar

[](#with-progress-bar)

use DNS\Harvester\Record;
use DNS\Harvester\DNS;

$recordList = new RecordList();
// add new hostname and what resource record to use, exclude loadDefaults()
$recordList->add(new Record('www', [RecordType::A, RecordType::AAAA, RecordType::CNAME, RecordType::TXT, RecordType::MX]));
$recordList->add(new Record('custom', [RecordType::A, RecordType::AAAA, RecordType::CNAME, RecordType::TXT, RecordType::MX]));

$dns = new DNS("google.com", $recordList, true);
$dns->harvest();
echo $dns->json();
```
