Sotec,
i'd like to make a program that getting some domain name
so i need to get domain name seaching API like google Search API
is it exsit?? i'm still not find this...
The .NET libraries don't have a ready-made class/API for WHOIS queries, but
that usually isn't a problem. This is because the WHOIS service is a very
simple text-based ("telnet") interface, and it is documented in RFC 954:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0954.txt
The only thing you need to do is send a text string to port 43 of a WHOIS
server. For example, try the following command from the command line:
telnet whois.arin.net 43
....and then type in "@microsoft.com" and press Enter. You get a long reply.
Now, to do this programmatically, you could use the
System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient class. See the .NET Framework documentation for
examples. Another option would be to use Indy.Sockets components from here:
http://www.indyproject.org/Sockets/D.../DotNet.en.iwp
And the docs:
http://docs.projectindy.org/online/TIdWhois.html
For you information, Indy.Sockets is an open-source project for TCP/IP
programming.
