Domain API
This is a client library for the Whois API service. With this API you can
- Check if a domain name is available
- Get its whois data or query an arbitrary whois server
- Don't worry about rate limits on the respective whois server
The service supports all domains of the Whois Server list, which is more than 500 top level domains.
Installation
Use Composer:
composer require whois-server-list/whois-api

$whoisApi = new whoisServerList\WhoisApi("apiKey");
