Hi,
Im trying to extract the domain name from an url. lets say I call
it full_domain and significant_dom ain(which is the homepage domain)
Eg: url=http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/IPod ,
full_domain=en. wikipedia.org ,significant_do main=wikipedia. org
Using urlsplit (of urlparse module), I will be able to get the
full_domain, but Im wondering how to get significant_dom ain. I will
not be able to use like counting the number of dots. etc
Some domains maybe like foo.bar.co.in (where significant_dom ain=
bar.co.in)
I have around 40M url list. Its ok, if I fallout in few(< 1%) cases.
Although I agree that measuring this error rate itself is not clear,
maybe just based on ituition.
Anybody have clues about existing url parsers in python to do this.
Searching online couldnt help me much other than
the urlparse/urllib module.
Worst case is to try to build a table of domain
categories(like .com, .co.il etc and look for it in the suffix rather
than counting dots and just extract the part till the preceding dot),
but Im afraid if I do this, I might miss some domain category. 3 1912

You'll have to find a better definition of "significant_do main".
A vaguely related concept would be SOA - Start of Authority. You could
issue DNS queries for a SOA record, removing the heading parts until you
get a matching answer. See http://www.dnspython.org/

The best way I know to get an *authoritive* answer is to start with
the full_domain and try a whois lookup. If it returns no records,
drop everything before the first dot and try again. Repeat until you
get a good answer -- this is the significant_dom ain.

Thanks.
Hmm, the url list is quite huge(40M). I think it will take a lot of
time,for a whois lookup I guess. But yeah,
thats seems to be a good way. Probably I will try it with a smaller
set (10K) and see the time it takes.
If not, I guess I will just build a table of known
domains(.com,.o rg,.co.il etc ) and then I can find the
root domain(signific ant_domain) atleast for those and I hope majority
of them fall into this :)
