Python package for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.
Project description
whoisdomain
- A Python package for retrieving WHOIS information of DOMAIN'S ONLY.
- Python 2.x IS NOT supported.
- Currently no additional python packages need to be installed.
Notes
- This package will not support querying ip CIDR ranges or AS information
- This was a copy of the original DanyCork 'whois'.
- Significantly refactored in 2023.
- The output is still compatible with DanyCork 'whois'
Versioning
- I will start versioning at 1.x.x
- the second item will be YYYYMMDD,
- the third item will start from 1 and be only used if more than one update will have to be done in one day.
Versions 1.x.x
will keep the output compatible with Danny Cork until 2024-02-03 (February 2024)
Releases
- Releases are avalable at: Pypi
Pypi releases can be installed with:
pip install whoisdomain
Features
- See: Features
Dependencies
- please install also the command line "whois" of your distribution as this library parses the output of the "whois" cli command of your operating system
Notes for Mac users
- it has been observed that the default cli whois on Mac is showing each forward step in its output, this makes parsing the result very unreliable.
- using a brew install whois will give in general better results.
Docker release
- See Docker
Usage example
- See Usage
whoisdomain
- the cli
whoisdomain
is documented in whoisdomain-cli
ccTLD & TLD support
Most tld's
are now autodetected via IANA root db, see the Analizer directory
and make suggest
.
- see the file: tld_regexpr
- for python use:
whoisdomain.validTlds()
- for cli use
whoisdomain -S
Support
- Python 3.x is supported for x >= 9
- Python 2.x IS NOT supported.
