Oops! I'm actually doing the same system which will be release soon!
Cool
Competition is always good!
Cool! Then count me in.
Haha, I was working on something sorta similar as well. Maybe I'll just wait until these come out.
If you need to parse WHOIS data, this is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/joepie91/python-whois
Either
pip install pythonwhois(if you use Python), or just grab the parsing rules from the code for any other languageactually I was being lazy and thought of grabbing info from http://whois.cryto.net/ :P
@alex looks cool but it claims shovehost.com doesn't exist
@joepie91 How often if ever does WHOIS update? I still see stormvz.com when I searched it like 5 months back and till now still has same info (NS etc still same but they're different now)
Looks good and seems to have most the info you would want/need -- the only suggestion I had was an alert for domains that expire soon, but it looks like you have that covered in your "future add-ons" list. Otherwise, it's simple and to the point -- good job!
@alex You may want to use a library like https://github.com/SCLInternet/SclWhois to fetch whois information.
on my list
thanks! forked
planning of using this for whois info, looks promising:
https://github.com/novutec/WhoisParser
Thats a feature.
very rough version is on github https://github.com/mprz/dAgent
it's far from perfect I know, but I want to share anyway
will be actively working on it, hopefully by the end of the week everything will work as expected
@Alex Once it's completed, i'll throw a few bucks your way
Maybe so you can buy a domain for it or what have you. It's a tool I've been meaning to develop myself and yours looks very promising!
Thanks, will try to have everything polished for the next weekend. Bought the domain yesterday, it will be dAgent.org
Works for me, looks nice, didn't crash so far. Looks ok on my phone too
Actually, whois.cryto.net is a separate service that uses python-whois behind the scenes, but caches all results forever. I'll eventually make it request new WHOIS data as well.
The python-whois library itself just makes a direct request, no caching is involved. That's up to the application using it.
I think it will be good to have tracking of NS and DNS record changes for the domains.
An idea that might be useful to some folks. Ability to enter how much was spent on purchase of the domain and subsequent renewals. Should also be able to mark it SOLD one day and calculate the actual profit/loss on the domain
all very good points, actually first two already planned
What about login?
coming
Cool!
I seriously wish for such a tool to keep track of vps too. Not sure if there already exists one.
meaning?
Like one can keep a track of his domains with dAgent, similarly app to keep a track of all the vps purchased from different providers will be quite useful.
I am sure most of us here on LET depend on Excel sheets as of now. A tool like dAgent will really help imho.
@vanarp: I think it's more about the fact that not everyone wants to track the same things when it comes down to VPS.
Eg.
1) One person just wants to know which company, plan name, price.
2) Another may want to know company, location of DC, plan name, memory, ips alloted (reverse dns), price, renewal date, payment method, etc.
I'd say stick with Google Docs Spreadsheets :P
Keep it to domains.. no need to complicate things.
For VPS just use openstatus & write down notes on your vps + you get monitoring too.
