Domain busy check

Question

PHP

It is necessary to check the availability of domains on the site, as many hosters do on their home page. How can this be done in a reasonable way? I didn’t come up with anything smarter than parsing an already existing site with such a check with curl :(

Answer 1

www.softtime.ru/scripts/whois.php

Answer 2

correctly write through, another whois. Once I did something like this, I found a script: scripts.pws.ru/whois/source.php

Answer 3

https://github.com/regru/php-whois
There is a good class.

Answer 4

whois ya.ru | grep -i REGISTERED ?

Answer 5

Thanks to everyone for the information provided. Maybe there is a way to check .by domains other than smoking? Because there is no whois server for these domains.

Answer 6

for .by, check domain.by/cgi-bin/registry.cgi?mode=slquest&client&session&lang=e&domain=name (where name.by ) for 'is already registered
' or 'is available for registration'

Answer 7

1. Use the script that MaxMiller
mentioned 2. https://github.com/noys/ianacheck - this script will help to determine the domain zone servers
3. gonzotools.ru is made using these scripts, you can evaluate their work
4. With a lot of traffic you will need to use some service that provides whois queries for money.
