Registrar Domain search instead of Whois


box

Recommended Posts

WHMCS registrar API should add the command Search so that we could extend domain search with the registrar API instead of relying in public whois lookup.

 

Public whois lookup has lots of limitations that registrars APIs don't have.

 

How can I make a custom domain search based on TLD or Registrar, is there any functions in WHMCS that I can extend for this purpose?

You can have the 'whois' do whatever you like (for example proxy it off to some code that calls the registrar api) by updating the whoisservers.php

 

e.g.

.blahblah|[url]http://(url)/whois-proxy.php?values=(whatever)|HTTPREQUEST-Not[/url] found

and put the code you need into whois-proxy.php

 

That's what I did after posting this thread and I have it working now.

 

Anyway, I think Domain Registrar modules should be able to extend Search Domains.

 

Relying in whois for domain registration is less reliable. I don't understand why WHMCS combined search function with whois. Basically all registries have API functions to search for domains.

 

Registrars modules which extended the search function would ignore the whois for this purpose, it would be backward compatible for those who don't.

I need to use my registrars API instead of WHMCS API for my domain checker
