WHOIS server querying
Description
Queries WHOIS servers
Usage
whois_query(hostname, server="whois.iana.org",
follow.refer=TRUE, raw.data=FALSE, debug=FALSE
)
whois_keyextract(query_ret, keys, blacklist_values=NULL, unlist.recursive=TRUE)
Arguments
hostname |
Server hostname (or hostnames as vector) to return results for. |
server |
WHOIS server to query (default: whois.iana.org) |
follow.refer |
Whether to follow referral information from a WHOIS result to query a different WHOIS server. Default TRUE. |
raw.data |
Whether to dump raw output as a character string without parsing. Default FALSE. If TRUE, this option supercedes follow.refer and forces it FALSE. |
query_ret |
data.frame that was returned from whois_query() |
keys |
Single string or vector of strings, case-insensitive, of what keys to look for in-order to return back values of from the whois return |
debug |
Boolean if you want debug prints (good for large quantities of manual data) |
blacklist_values |
Character or vector of values (or starting values) to skip when searching |
unlist.recursive |
Boolean if you want the unlist at the end to pass recursively |
Value
whois_query() returns a data.frame whois_keyextract() returns a vector

Examples
# Grab WHOIS data for an IP
whois_query("1.1.1.1")
# Grab WHOIS data for a hostname from a different whois server
whois_query("bcable.net", server="whois.verisign-grs.com")
# Grab multiple vectorized results
domains <- c("bcable.net", "4.2.2.4")
whois_query(domains)
# Extract Country Info About IP Addresses
ip_addresses <- c("1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8")
query_ret <- whois_query(ip_addresses)
countries <- whois_keyextract(query_ret, "country")
# Extract Organization Info From Same IPs
organization_names <- whois_keyextract(query_ret,
c("org-name", "orgname", "organisation", "organization")
)
