Details

The majority of the sample code is shown below:

# 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 'domain_profile' method on service
    resp_dict = client.domain_profile("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 dxldomaintoolsclient.client.DomainToolsApiClient instance is created which will be used to invoke remote commands on the DomainTools API DXL service.

Next, the dxldomaintoolsclient.client.DomainToolsApiClient.domain_profile() method is invoked with a domain name to search.

The final step is to display the contents of the returned dictionary (dict) which contains the results of the domain profile query.

From the DomainTools Domain Profile documentation:

"The Domain Profile API provides basic domain name registration details and a preview of additional data available from DomainTools membership and report products. The preview data is especially useful for DomainTools affiliates who want to show useful information on a domain name or a registrant in their affiliate link."
