Create a new client

To start making requests you need the API Key. You can find it on your profile page on whoisxmlapi.com. Using the API Key you can create Client.

Most users will be fine with NewBasicClient function.

client := whoisxmlapigo.NewBasicClient(apikey)

If you want to set custom http.Client to use proxy then you can use NewClient function.

transport := &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyUrl)}

client := whoisxmlapigo.NewClient(apiKey, whoisxmlapigo.ClientParams{
    HTTPClient: &http.Client{
        Transport: transport,
        Timeout:   20 * time.Second,
    },
})

Make basic requests

Whois API provides the registration details of a domain name.

// Make request to get WHOIS record for domain
rec, _, err := client.WhoisService.Data(ctx, "whoisxmlapi.com")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println(rec.DomainName, rec.Audit.UpdatedDate)

// Make request to get raw WHOIS API data
resp, err := client.WhoisService.RawData(ctx, "whoisxmlapi.com")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println(string(resp.Body))
