Expiration Date
Why do we need it?
As we want to determine the availability from the WHOIS record - if available, we need to extract and provide the expiration date.
How does it work?
After the query of the WHOIS record, it is parsed so that we can extract the expiration date.
When successful, a date in the format 09-oct-1970
is provided to the
end-user. Otherwise, null
is provided to those using the API and
Unknown
to those using the CLI.
How to use it?
You can simply allow the usage of the WHOIS lookup through:
the (Python) API,
the CLI argument,
or, your configuration file.
