WhoisJS
A WHOIS module for Node.js written in CoffeeScript. WhoisJS is able to perform lookups on over 200 TLDs.
Requirements
This library has been tested with Node.JS v0.4.12 and v0.10.26
How to Install
$ npm install whoisjs
How to Use
Whoisjs = require('whoisjs').whois
who = new Whoisjs()
domain = "google.fr"
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.
