Wanted: Service Bulk who.is checker (UK)

[Ben Sykes]

Hi

I once had a python script which would bulk check .uk domains who.is and output to a csv when finished.

Does any one have a similar script for sale or can write one cheaply

I have DAC / Nominet TAG.

Open to ideas

This software might help, according to their FAQ page. If there's a free trial or similar, you could give it a whirl...

@DaveP made me something like this

I'm not 100% he checks Acorn much nowadays, doesn't seem to post anyway, but I could get hold of him for you if you like

I use DNA Pro which is by Domain Punch (which I think were formerly Softnik), you can input in various ways, use list building tools, paste in keywords and it ads extensions, or paste straight domains in, it works on any extension. You can add new ones at will for any not covered.

This uses the normal whois systems but there is a way to make it use DAC, I've never bothered though, I stopped updating at V4.0 and the native database at that point, gets clunky at about 32,000 records. I'm assured this isn't the case with modern versions.

If anyone can write a simple python script where it can take a text file and output to csv I would be grateful.

Can be in any code, I have a DAC connection so getting banned should not be an issue.

Python or any other code! £150?
