使用 Node.js，如何查看域名是否已注册？

Question

I'm building a simple webapp to teach myself node.js, and in it I need to check whether a certain domain name specified by the user is registered. I'm not really sure how to go about this and I'd appreciate it if anybody could enlighten me.

Answer 1

Take a look at this article by Matt Brubeck:

There is a Node.js script that does exactly that.

Answer 2

I think the best way to do this is to use the dns module to do a resolve , and if nothing is returned or an error is thrown it's not registered yet.

Answer 3

Run something like this:

//loads the Node core DNS module
var dns = require ( 'dns' )

function checkAvailable( url ) {
  //uses the core modules to run an IPv4 resolver that returns 'err' on error
  dns.resolve4( url, function (err, addresses) {
    if (err) console.log (url + " is possibly available : " + err)
  })
}
// calls the function of a given url        
checkAvailable( "ohwellhaithar.com" )
