Domain Status Info

The domain_status_info.py script verifies the status of domain names based on a provided file or command line input. Additionally it gets the Domain Name Registrar and referral URL. The results are stored in an automatically generated html file or printed to stdout depending on the options used.

Requirements

The script depends on the whois library for getting domain name registrar and referral url. It is however optional, and if not installed the -r or --registrar flag will be ignored. Use pip install python-whois in case you want this information.

Supports python 2 and 3

Usage

• Feeding from file and saving to html

> python domain_status_info.py -f domains.txt
> python domain_status_info.py -f domains.txt --registrar # also adds the registrar column
> python domain_status_info.py -f domains.txt --length 2 10 # parses file from lines 2 to 10

• Print to stdout

> python domain_status_info.py -d nob.ro skamsie.ro example.org -r

> ** nob.ro ** 104.28.21.102 ** 200 -- OK ** ['Netim', 'http://www.netim.com']
> ** skamsie.ro ** 104.27.160.159 ** 200 -- OK ** ['EuroDomenii', 'http://www.domenii.eu']
> ** example.org ** 93.184.216.34 ** 200 -- OK ** ['ICANN', 'N/A']

Status codes

The status codes returned are similar with the ones returned by the curl -I command on *nix systems. Because it is a script it will sometimes get 406 -- Not Acceptable from some domains. Note that it does not follow redirects.

Html file

The html file generated to populate the results will use the the same core name as the one used as argument + 'STATUS' + interval of lines parsed. It will be saved in a folder called 'generated_results' created where the script is located. It contains a table like the one below.
