Anyone can do WHOIS lookups through the whois command line tool or web based interfaces direct from the registrar but there are query limits which make commercial use difficult e.g. bulk checking of expiry dates on all your existing domains is not possible once you have more than x domains, where x is whatever thw WHOIS server query limi...
Hey, I'm trying to get a webservice up and running that actually requires to check whois databases. What I'm doing right now is ugly and I'd like to avoid it as much as I can: I call gwhois command and parse its output. Ugly. I did some search to try to find a pythonic way to do this task. Generally I got quite much nothing - this old ...
I want to get whois information of a domain name from my c#/java programs. Is there a simple way to do this? ...
I am writing some code to determine whether a network domain is registered. For example, I want to check if "Google123.com" is available. There are at least two ways I can do this programatically, but I'm not sure which is more valid: A) In linux/cygwin, I can launch the whois command to see if a domain is in use. B) In linux/windows,...
Is there a public API that can be used to get domain who is information ...
I wanted to do some analysis on registered domain names. Looks like I can hit whois.internic.net to get information about each domain, but it also looks like there are rate limits that prevent me from doing large numbers of queries. Is there a way to periodically (say daily) grab the entire whois database? I really only care about wheth...
So, I have been working on this domain name regular expression. So far, it seems to pick up domain names with SLDs and TLDs (with the optional ccTLD), but there is duplication of the TLD listing. Can this be refactored any further? params[:domain_name].downcase.strip.match(/^[a-z0-9\-]{2,63} \.((a[cdefgilmnoqrstuwxz]|aero|arpa)|(b[abdef...
Not only easy ones like .com or .net, but also, .co.uk, .fr, .gov.rw ... ? Should I really make a huge mapping "tld to relevant whois server", or is there an easier way ? ...
I don't have whois installed on my server (apparently it's in the works but no real news on it). I was wondering if anybody knew a way to emulate the functionality of it though. I figured I'd be posting some data to a url but I don't know what, or where. Basically I'm at a complete loss, and would appreciate any help or even something t...

Hi everyone, I am recently finding myself in a situation at work where I am expected to create a pattern matching domain name search. (ie., mydomain* should match mydomain1,mydomainanotherone etc. etc.) My platform is Linux based (CentOS 5) with Apache 2 and PHP. I also have the Pear whois library installed (dont want to use the exec("w...
I see many websites offering services to list recently expired domains. I also see many blogs on how to use these websites. However, none of them explain what is necessary to generate the list in a computerized manner. Is it possible to do this without saving all the domain names and querying the whois to see if the registration is gone...
I'm trying to programmaticaly determine the company* associated with a given IP address. My first guess was this : string hostname = Dns.GetHostEntry(IPAddress.Parse(ip)).HostName; but this won't work if the reverse DNS isn't set correctly, which seems to happen 90% of the time. However some websites are still able to successfully...
I'm looking for a program/service that does Whois lookup and parses the whois data into detailed finer details, eg. registrant-> registrant_name, street address, city, state/province, country, email, etc. I googled around and found WhoisAPI, it is a Whois lookup service and Whois Parser that parses into XML, however it's not free. How ...
I've built out a pet project of mine, and am now looking for a good domain name for it. Arbitrarily doing whois lookups on ideas that pop into my head seems inefficient. What tools do you use when searching for a good domain name? Some ideas to get the wheels greased : given a few letters does prefix/suffix/infix searches for availab...
Hey everybody, I want to query a WHOIS server with PHP. This means that I have to TCP connect to Port 43 on the WHOIS server. Is there a way to do this with the ZEND Framework? I only found HTTP socket adapters. I will do it with the native PHP socket functions if ZF does not provide wrapper classes. Thank you Lennart ...
