WHOIS
Python module/library for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.
By DDarko http://ddarko.org/
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, …)
query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do
works with Python 2.4+ and Python 3.x
all dates as datetime objects
possibility to cache results
Usage example
>>> import whois >>> domain = whois.query('google.com')
>>> print(domain.__dict__) { 'expiration_date': datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 14, 0, 0), 'last_updated': datetime.datetime(2011, 7, 20, 0, 0), 'registrar': 'MARKMONITOR INC.', 'name': 'google.com', 'creation_date': datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 15, 0, 0) }
>>> print(domain.name) google.com
>>> print(domain.expiration_date) 2020-09-14 00:00:00
