🚀 Usage

1. As a CLI Tool

You can run dominfo directly from your terminal to get information about a domain.

Basic Lookup: Get a pretty-printed overview of the domain.

python -m dominfo google.com

JSON Output: Get the output in machine-readable JSON format (useful for piping into jq or other tools).

python -m dominfo google.com --json
# or
dominfo google.com -j

Custom IANA Server: Specify a specific WHOIS server if needed.

python -m dominfo google.com --iana-server whois.nic.ai

2. As a Python Library

You can easily integrate Dominfo into your own Python scripts.

from dominfo.client import DominfoClient

# Initialize the client
client = DominfoClient()

# Fetch WHOIS information
whois_info = client.get_whois_info("google.com")

# Print the result (returns a dictionary/object)
print(whois_info)

Using a custom server in Python:

client = DominfoClient(server="whois.verisign-grs.com")
info = client.get_whois_info("google.com")
