A php library to look up the whois servers of a Top Level Domain.

About

This package facilitates the discovery of the authoritative WHOIS server for top level domains. There are two lists to source the WHOIS server info from; the IANA TLD list and the Public Suffix List.

Installation

Install this package as a dependency using Composer.

composer require mallardduck/whois-server-list

Usage

Simply initialize a locator for the list you'd like to use.

use MallardDuck\WhoisDomainList\IanaServerLocator;

$ianaLocator = new IanaServerLocator();
echo $ianaLocator->getWhoisServer('aarp'); // whois.nic.aarp

Updating

The lists used by this package generate using the script in the ./generator directory. This script will download a fresh copy of the list, then look up every TLDs whois server.

To update the list one would simply: clone this repo, run the generator, commit the changes and send a Pull Request.
