Node WHOIS

Node WHOIS is a WHOIS client for Node.js.

Installation

$ npm install whois

Usage

var whois = require('whois')
whois.lookup('google.com', function(err, data) {
    console.log(data)
})

You may pass an object in between the address and the callback function to tweak the behavior of the lookup function:

{
    "server":  "",   // this can be a string ("host:port") or an object with host and port as its keys; leaving it empty makes lookup rely on servers.json
    "follow":  2,    // number of times to follow redirects
    "timeout": 0,    // socket timeout, excluding this doesn't override any default timeout value
    "verbose": false, // setting this to true returns an array of responses from all servers
    "proxy": "" // this can be a string ("host:port");
}
