Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be validating domain names and getting the whois info of the website using python-whoisinfo library. All the full source code of application is shown below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the python-whoisinfo library by issuing the pip command
pip install python-whoisinfo
After installing this library and just make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py
Now we will be checking the validity of the domain in this block of code

import whois # pip install python-whois def is_registered(domain_name): """ A function that returns a boolean indicating whether a `domain_name` is registered """ try: w = whois.whois(domain_name) except Exception: return False else: return bool(w.domain_name) # list of registered & non registered domains to test our function domains = [ "freemediatools.com", "codingshiksha.com", "github.com", "unknownrandomdomain.com", "notregistered.co" ] # iterate over domains for domain in domains: print(domain, "is registered" if is_registered(domain) else "is not registered") |
Here in this python snippet code we are importing the python-whoisinfo library and then we are providing the list of domain names and then we are getting the domain validity i.e. if the domain is valid or not.
Now we can run this python script by executing the command as shown below
python app.py
Now we will be getting the whois information about the domain as shown below

import whois # test with Google domain name domain_name = "google.com" whois_info = whois.whois(domain_name) # print the registrar print("Domain registrar:", whois_info.registrar) # print the WHOIS server print("WHOIS server:", whois_info.whois_server) # get the creation time print("Domain creation date:", whois_info.creation_date) # get expiration date print("Expiration date:", whois_info.expiration_date) |
