Basic Parsed Whois Example ========================== This sample invokes and displays the results of a DomainTools "Parsed Whois" via DXL. For more information see: https://www.domaintools.com/resources/api-documentation/parsed-whois/ Prerequisites ************* * The samples configuration step has been completed (see :doc:`sampleconfig`) * The DomainTools API DXL service is running (see `DomainTools API DXL Service `_) Running ******* To run this sample execute the ``sample/basic/basic_parsed_whois_example.py`` script as follows: .. parsed-literal:: python sample/basic/basic_parsed_whois_example.py The output should appear similar to the following: .. code-block:: json { "response": { "name_servers": [ "NS1.P09.DYNECT.NET", "NS2.P09.DYNECT.NET", "NS3.P09.DYNECT.NET", "NS4.P09.DYNECT.NET" ], "parsed_whois": { "contacts": { "admin": { "city": "SEATTLE", "country": "US", "email": "MEMBERSERVICES@DOMAINTOOLS.COM", "fax": "12068389056", "name": "DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR", "org": "DOMAINTOOLS, LLC", "phone": "12068389035", "postal": "98121", "state": "WA", "street": [ "2101 4TH AVE", "SUITE 1150" ] }, "billing": { "city": "", "country": "", "email": "", "fax": "", "name": "", "org": "", "phone": "", "postal": "", "state": "", "street": [] }, "registrant": { "city": "SEATTLE", "country": "US", "email": "MEMBERSERVICES@DOMAINTOOLS.COM", "fax": "12068389056", "name": "DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR", "org": "DOMAINTOOLS, LLC", "phone": "12068389035", "postal": "98121", "state": "WA", "street": [ "2101 4TH AVE", "SUITE 1150" ] }, "tech": { "city": "SEATTLE", "country": "US", "email": "MEMBERSERVICES@DOMAINTOOLS.COM", "fax": "12068389056", "name": "DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR", "org": "DOMAINTOOLS, LLC", "phone": "12068389035", "postal": "98121", "state": "WA", "street": [ "2101 4TH AVE", "SUITE 1150" ] } }, "created_date": "1998-08-02T04:00:00+00:00", "domain": "domaintools.com", "expired_date": "2018-08-01T04:00:00+00:00", "name_servers": [ "ns1.p09.dynect.net", "ns2.p09.dynect.net", "ns3.p09.dynect.net", "ns4.p09.dynect.net" ], "other_properties": { "dnssec": "unSigned", "registry_domain_id": "1697312_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN" }, "registrar": { "abuse_contact_email": "abuse@enom.com", "abuse_contact_phone": "14252982646", "iana_id": "48", "name": "ENOM, INC.", "url": "www.enom.com", "whois_server": "whois.enom.com" }, "statuses": [ "clientTransferProhibited https://www.icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited" ], "updated_date": "2017-07-03T00:43:03+00:00" }, "record_source": "domaintools.com", "registrant": "DOMAINTOOLS, LLC", "registration": { "created": "1998-08-02", "expires": "2018-08-01", "registrar": "ENOM, INC.", "statuses": [ "clientTransferProhibited" ], "updated": "2017-07-03" }, "whois": { "date": "2017-07-17", "record": "Domain Name: DOMAINTOOLS.COM\nRegistry Domain ID: 1697312_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN\nRegistrar WHOIS Server: whois.enom.com\nRegistrar URL: www.enom.com\nUpdated Date: 2017-07-03T00:43:03.00Z\nCreation Date: 1998-08-02T04:00:00.00Z\nRegistrar Registration Expiration Date: 2018-08-01T04:00:00.00Z\nRegistrar: ..." } } } The received results are displayed. Details ******* The majority of the sample code is shown below: .. code-block:: python # Create the client with DxlClient(config) as dxl_client: # Connect to the fabric dxl_client.connect() logger.info("Connected to DXL fabric.") # Create client wrapper client = DomainToolsApiClient(dxl_client) # Invoke 'parsed_whois' method on service resp_dict = client.parsed_whois("domaintools.com") # Print out the response (convert dictionary to JSON for pretty printing) print("Response:\n{}".format( MessageUtils.dict_to_json(resp_dict, pretty_print=True))) Once a connection is established to the DXL fabric, a :class:`dxldomaintoolsclient.client.DomainToolsApiClient` instance is created which will be used to invoke remote commands on the DomainTools API DXL service. Next, the :func:`dxldomaintoolsclient.client.DomainToolsApiClient.parsed_whois` method is invoked with a hostname. The final step is to display the contents of the returned dictionary (``dict``) which contains the results of the parsed whois query. From the DomainTools `Parsed Whois documentation `_: `"The Parsed Whois API provides parsed information extracted from the raw Whois record. The API is optimized to quickly retrieve the Whois record, group important data together and return a well-structured format. The Parsed Whois API is ideal for anyone wishing to search for, index, or cross-reference data from one or multiple Whois records."`
