There might be a case where a user wants to create a website and having certain ideas for the website’s name but is struck on their availability. So let’s develop a GUI that will check for domain availability. We will use the Python-whois module to get information about the website. It’s able to extract data for all the popular TLDs (com, org, net, …)
Installation
Before writing the code we need to install the python-whois Module. To install this type the below command in the terminal.
pip install python-whois
After installation, let write code with examples.
Import the python-whois module and extracting information from the site
Python3
import whoiswhois.whois('neveropen.com') |
Output:
If we are getting this type of information then it means this domain is registered for neveropen.
Now let’s write code for check domain availability.
Python3
# importing modulesimport whoisimport sys# Use exception handle program# and get information from whoistry: domain = whois.whois("neveropen.com") if domain.domain_name == None: sys.exit(1) except : print("This domain is available")else: print("Oops! this domain already purchased") |
Output:
Oops! this domain already purchased by GEEKSFORGEEKS.COM
Let’s check this on the domain site.
Checking myeeks.com domain availability.
Python3
domain = whois.whois("myeeks.com") |
Output:
This domain is available
Let’s check this on the domain site.
Let’s create a GUI for the same using Tkinter.
Implementation:
Python3
# import modulesfrom tkinter import *import whoisimport sys# user define function# for get domain informationdef Domain_info(): try: domain = whois.whois(str(e1.get())) if domain.domain_name == None: sys.exit(1) except: result = "This domain is available" else: result = "Oops! this domain already purchased" res.set(result)# object of tkinter# and background set for redmaster = Tk()master.configure(bg='red')# Variable Classes in tkinterres = StringVar()# Creating label for each information# name using widget LabelLabel(master, text="Website URL : ", bg="red").grid(row=0, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Result :", bg="red").grid(row=3, sticky=W)# Creating label for class variable# name using widget EntryLabel(master, text="", textvariable=res, bg="red").grid( row=3, column=1, sticky=W)e1 = Entry(master)e1.grid(row=0, column=1)# creating a button using the widget# Button that will call the submit functionb = Button(master, text="Show", command=Domain_info, bg="Blue")b.grid(row=0, column=2, columnspan=2, rowspan=2, padx=5, pady=5,)mainloop() |
Output:
