In this video tutorial I will show you how to get domain name information from a domain using python.
import whois
def get_whois_info(domain_name):
domain_info = whois.whois(domain_name)
expiration_date = domain_info.expiration_date
last_updated = domain_info.last_updated
registrar = domain_info.registrar
creation_date = domain_info.creation_date
# Convert expiration_date and creation_date to datetime if they are lists
if isinstance(expiration_date, list):
expiration_date = expiration_date[0]
if isinstance(creation_date, list):
creation_date = creation_date[0]
return {
'expiration_date': expiration_date ,
'\n last_updated': last_updated,
'registrar': registrar,
'name': domain_name,
'creation_date': creation_date
}
# Example domain
domain_name = 'rt.com'
# Get WHOIS information
domain_info = get_whois_info(domain_name)
# Print the information
print(domain_info)
I have already installed whois package in my project, pip install whois. But it is not working, I got the following error,
"attributeerror: module 'whois' has no attribute 'whois'"
SOLUTION:
I resolved the error by installing
the package "python-whois"
pip install python-whois
