Domain Checker

Export keyword ideas from Google's Ad Planner and check for availability. This command line tool goes through the second column of the exported CSV file and concatenates the keywords like so: your keyword becomes yourkeyword and your-keyword. Single words of course only get checked once.

The script then checks for domain availability like so: yourkeyword.com, yourkeyword.net, yourkeyword.org, yourkeyword.info and then the second class citizens of the interwebz your-keyword.com, your-keyword.net, your-keyword.org, your-keyword.info and writes the results to your specified output file.

If the list contains keywords with special chars like &/$%@# they get written to a file called ignored.txt and skipped by the script to avoid errors. That way you can manually review them and make further decisions.

The script should write to CSV even if it runs into an issue.

Why?

Usage

Run the script from your command line:

$ git clone git@github.com:heyalexej/domainchecker.git
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python domainchecker.py -i inputfile.csv -o outputfile.csv

Easy, ha?
