WhoisJS

A WHOIS module for Node.js written in CoffeeScript. WhoisJS is able to perform lookups on over 200 TLDs.

This is a fork of https://github.com/juliangiuca/whoisjs with some fixes. Maybe some of TLDs need review, I just checked .com .org .ir .net, But other TLDs should work as well, If you see any issues send them here: https://github.com/mort3za/domaincheck/issues

Requirements

This library has been tested with Node.JS 6.2.2

How to Install

$ npm install whoisjs

How to Use

  DomainCheck = require('domaincheck').whois

  who = new DomainCheck()
  domain = "wikipedia.org"

  who.query domain, (response) ->
    state = "available" if response.available()
    state = "unavailable" if response.unavailable()
    state = "timeout" if response.timeout()
    state = "error" if response.error()
    state ||= "unknown"
    callback(domain, state);

How to debug

Show me the whois response already!

From the above, response.raw contains the response data from the Whois server. console.log it, and see what's happening.

The lib/whois/server/adapters files describe how the response is interpreted via the positive(), negative(), and error() functions. If you notice the responses aren't being registered correctly, please file and issue or send a pull request.
