| NamePros Member | Hi All, Anyone have any ideas on programmable whois info extraction given a specific domain name? What we are trying to accomplish, is to be able to extract whois info for a number of domains that we own and get it into a database. We found a couple of good threads at NP (http://www.namepros.com/code/280961-...ity-check.html and one or 2 other threads linked from that one).. but not sure if the threads are doing exactly what we need. Is there a "format" that all automated whois servers are supposed to conform to on their responses? Any thoughts/direction would be much appreciated! Thanks, ST Domains

| Senior Member | No there is no set format returned from whois. Different registries return data slightly different. What precise information are you after? There should be code within the code section that does what you want as I know several people have written classes and functions for whois.

| NamePros Member | Thanks for your responses Peter and Monaco. Its unfortunate that there is no standard. Seems that this would be a great place for standardization! Do most whois severs permit automated queries though ? Pretty sure the response to this will be that there is no standard (which seems to be the standard with whois servers ), but just asking for your thoughts based on your past experience ..We are looking to extract reg date, expiry, contacts, name servers, and anything else we can "automate".

| Senior Member | whois servers would find it hard to know if a request is an automated 1 or not. Unless of course you hammer the server. To combat this they only allow x amount of requests per hour or so.

| I'll do it Technical Services | I think cURL would do the trick in PHP. For a nice automation I would put the script as a function on some site of mine where there is little bit of traffic ![]() So whenever someone visits my site the code part executes and it checks the availability. If it is available then it goes to available.txt file and if not available then it dumps the stuff into the database ![]() After all the data is extracted like this. You just need to find and replace junk stuff within the database like: Name etc.

| Senior Member | i doubt it. I should imagine they are actively looking for proxies as well.
