check-domain

Retrieve informations about one domain:

• IP adress
• DNS resolution
• Ping
• domains on the same ip
• Backlinks, Truts Flow, Citation Flow and other metrics provided by the Majestic API.
• Availability provided by whoisxmlapi.com
• Whois data provided by whoisxmlapi.com + 4 extra info : isValidDomain, isPendingDelete, isRedemptionPeriod, missingData (if no whois found)
• Semrush info (rank, number of organic keywords, organic traffic size : '6070', number of adwords keywords, adwords traffic)
• number of pages indexed by Google (primary & secondary index)

In order to get all info, you need to provide your majestic API key, your whoisxmlapi credential & your Semrush API key. Without those setting, it returns only dns resolution, ip, ping & indexed pages.

We plan to support other APIs notably for the whois data. Feel free to suggest your favorite ones.

Install

$ npm install check-domain --save

Crash course

var checkDomain = require("check-domain");

var options = {
  domain : "domainToCheck.com",
  majesticKey : "[add here your majestic key]",
  whois : {user : "[your whoisxmlapi name]", password : "[your whoisxmlapi password]"},
  semrushKey : "[add here your semrush key]",

};

checkDomain(options,
  function(error, result) {
        console.log(result); // see the complete result structure
        console.log(result.isDNSFound);
        console.log(result.ip);
        console.log(result.isAlive);
        console.log(result.isAvailable);
        console.log(result.majestic); // see the json structure provided by http://developer-support.majestic.com/api/commands/get-index-item-info.shtml
        console.log(result.whois);    // see the json structure provided by http://www.whoisxmlapi.com

        console.log(result.semrush); // The Semrush datas

        console.log(result.primaryIndex);
        console.log(result.googleIndex);
        console.log(result.secondaryIndex);


        // We add extra fields in the whois structure
        console.log(result.whois.isValidDomain);
        console.log(result.whois.missingData);  // The whois database doesn't contain info for this domain
        console.log(result.whois.isPendingDelete);
        console.log(result.whois.isRedemptionPeriod);
        console.log(result.whois.createdDate);
        console.log(result.whois.expiresDate);
        console.log(result.whois.expiredWaitingTime);
