Python package for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.

Project description

whois

A Python package for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.

Features

  • Python wrapper for Linux "whois" command.
  • Simple interface to access parsed WHOIS data for a given domain.
  • Able to extract data for all the popular TLDs (com, org, net, biz, info, pl, jp, uk, nz, ...).
  • Query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do.
  • Works with Python 3.x.
  • All dates as datetime objects.
  • Possibility to cache results.
  • Verbose output on stderr during debugging to see how the internal functions are doing their work
  • raise a exception on Quota ecceeded type responses
  • raise a exception on PrivateRegistry tld's where we know the tld and know we don't know anything
  • allow for optional cleaning the whois response before extracting information
  • International domain name support & common Chinese domain name support
