An easy-to-use command line utility for checking domain name availability using Domainr's JSON API.
If you want to use the package through pip, simply run:
pip install dom
Or, if you'd prefer to clone the repo, run the following command:
git clone [email protected]:zachwill/dom.git
cd dom
python setup.py install
The optional --ascii flag can be used to look up domain availability without
the use of the Unicode characters.
dom --ascii zachwill
X zachwill.com
A zachwill.net
A zachwill.org
A zachwill.co
X za.ch
X z.ac
The --available flag only shows domain names that are currently available:
dom --available zachwill
✓ zachwill.net
✓ zachwill.org
✓ zachwill.co
✓ zachwill.io
✓ zachwill.me
And, the --tld flag only shows top-level domains:
dom --tld zachwill
✗ zachwill.com
✓ zachwill.net
✓ zachwill.org
You won't need to worry about this, but since the Python upload
command is so obtuse, I'm going to keep it here:
python setup.py sdist bdist_egg upload
