Internet WhoIS REST API Services

Version: 2.2.14 (final major)

Author: Dr. Simon Antony Roberts simon@snails.email

Demo: http://whois.snails.email

This is an API Service for conducting a whois on both IPv4, IPv6 and domain names. It provides a range of document standards for you to access the API inclusing JSON, XML, Serialisation, HTML and RAW outputs.

You can access the API currently without a key or system it is an open api and was written in response to the many API Services that charge ridiculous amounts for querying such a simple base. The following instructions are how to access the api I hope you enjoy this api as I have writting it with the help of net registry.

Apache Mod Rewrite (SEO Friendly URLS)

The follow lines go in your API_ROOT_PATH/.htaccess

php_value memory_limit 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 1M
php_value post_max_size 1M
php_value error_reporting 0
php_value display_errors 0

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^v([0-9]{1,2})/(.*?)/(json|xml|serial|raw|html).api$ ./index.php?version=$1&whois=$2&output=$3 [L,NC,QSA]

Scheduled Cron Job Details.,

Implementing in PHP

This is the example on how to implement this API in PHP

Raw Output Implementation

The following code implements the raw.api call for strata importing the implemented array:

$gtld = eval("?>".file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/snails.email/raw.api")."<?php");

The following code implements the raw.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv4 = eval("?>".file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/125.23.45.111/raw.api")."<?php");

The following code implements the raw.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv6 = eval("?>".file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/2001:0:9d38:953c:1052:39d8:8355:2880/raw.api")."<?php");

JSON Output Implementation

The following code implements the json.api call for strata importing the implemented array:

$gtld = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/snails.email/json.api"), true);

The following code implements the json.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv4 = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/125.23.45.111/json.api"), true);

The following code implements the json.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv6 = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/2001:0:9d38:953c:1052:39d8:8355:2880/json.api"), true);

SERIAL Output Implementation

The following code implements the serial.api call for strata importing the implemented array:

$gtld = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/snails.email/serial.api"));

The following code implements the serial.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv4 = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/125.23.45.111/serial.api"));

The following code implements the serial.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv6 = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/2001:0:9d38:953c:1052:39d8:8355:2880/serial.api"));

XML Output Implementation

The following code implements the xml.api call for strata importing the implemented array:

$gtld = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/snails.email/xml.api"));

The following code implements the xml.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv4 = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/125.23.45.111/xml.api"));

The following code implements the xml.api call for fallout importing the implemented array:

$ipv6 = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents("http://whois.localhost/v2/2001:0:9d38:953c:1052:39d8:8355:2880/xml.api"));
