whois-raw
WHOIS client for Node that returns raw whois data.
If you would like nicely parsed whois data you should consider using https://github.com/moneals/whois-parsed
This was rewritten in javascript based off code at https://github.com/FurqanSoftware/node-whois
Installation
Global
$ npm install -g whois
Usage
whois [options] address
Options:
-s, --server whois server [default: null]
-f, --follow number of times to follow redirects [default: 0]
-p, --proxy SOCKS proxy [default: null]
-v, --verbose show verbose results [default: false]
-b, --bind bind to a local IP address [default: null]
-h, --help display this help message [default: false]
Local
$ npm install whois
Usage
var whois = whois
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 "bind": null // bind the socket to a local IP address "proxy": // (optional) SOCKS Proxy host: '118.190.206.111' port: 9999 userId: "optional" password: "optional" type: 5 // or 4
