Node-whois is a WHOIS client for Node.js.
$ npm install node-whois
var whois = require('node-whois')
whois.lookup('google.com', function(err, data) {
console.log(data)
})You may pass an object in between the address and the callback function to tweak the behavior of the lookup function:
{
"server": "", // this can be a string ("host:port") or an object with host and port as its keys; leaving it empty makes lookup rely on servers.json
"follow": 2, // number of times to follow redirects
"timeout": 0, // socket timeout, excluding this doesn't override any default timeout value
"verbose": false // setting this to true returns an array of responses from all servers
}Contributions are welcome.
