🎯 dropcatch (alpha) for (NASK / .pl Edition)

A specialized, zero-dependency Python utility for monitoring the lifecycle of Polish .pl domains directly via the NASK WHOIS registry (whois.dns.pl).

Built for drop-catchers, SEO professionals, and domain investors who need raw socket connections without third-party API limits.

⚡ Installation

pip install dropcatch

🚀 Usage

dropcatch connects directly to port 43 of the Polish registry, parses the proprietary text format, and computes exact drop windows.

import dropcatch

# Query a .pl domain directly from NASK registry
domain = dropcatch.query_nask("nask.pl")

print(f"Domain: {domain.name}")
print(f"Status: {domain.status}")
print(f"Expiration Date: {domain.expiration_date}")

# Check if it's currently in the 30-day blind period before deletion
if domain.is_blocked:
    print(f"Domain is BLOCKED. Will drop around: {domain.estimated_drop_date}")

Additional domain registries

Support for additional domain registries will be added over time. If you'd like to support the development of this dropcatch library, feel free to reach out to us via email.
