whois: Whois Lookup

In hrbrmstr/domaintools: Toolkit for Querying and Working with WHOIS and IP Address Data Provided by the DomainTools API

Description

The Whois Lookup API provides the ownership record for a domain name or IP address with basic registration details. The API is optimized to respond quickly and is designed to handle a high volume of parallel requests. This is the ideal product to use if you have a busy web site or a long list of domains that you need to process.

Usage

whois(domain)

Arguments

domain

domain to perform the Whois query on

Details

The response includes the most recent Whois record we have for the domain name or IP address you provided in the URL. This ensures a consistently fast response without a dependency on external servers and usually returns a record updated within the last few days. You can use the date property in the whois response node to check the age of the record and confirm it was updated recently enough for your needs.

Value

a list of basic Whois result detais for the domain

Note

In rare cases, you may request a domain for which no recent Whois record is available. If that occurs, the system will respond with an error.
