whodap 0.1.7

whodap

whodap | Simple RDAP Utility for Python

• Support for asyncio HTTP requests (httpx)
• Leverages the SimpleNamespace type for cleaner RDAP Response traversal
• Keeps the familiar look of WHOIS via the to_whois_dict method for DNS lookups

Quickstart

import asyncio
from pprint import pprint

import whodap

# Looking up a domain name
response = whodap.lookup_domain(domain='bitcoin', tld='org') 
# Equivalent asyncio call
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
response = loop.run_until_complete(whodap.aio_lookup_domain(domain='bitcoin', tld='org'))
# "response" is a DomainResponse object. It contains the output from the RDAP lookup.
print(response)
# Traverse the DomainResponse via "dot" notation
print(response.events)

# Don't want "dot" notation? Use `to_dict` to get the RDAP response as a dictionary
pprint(response.to_dict())
# Use `to_whois_dict` for the familiar look of WHOIS output

Exported Functions and Classes

Common Usage Patterns

• Using the DNSClient:

import whodap

# Initialize an instance of DNSClient using classmethods: `new_client` or `new_aio_client`
dns_client = whodap.DNSClient.new_client()
for domain, tld in [('google', 'com'), ('google', 'buzz')]:
    response = dns_client.lookup(domain, tld)
    
# Equivalent asyncio call
dns_client = await whodap.DNSClient.new_aio_client()
for domain, tld in [('google', 'com'), ('google', 'buzz')]:
    response = await dns_client.aio_lookup(domain, tld)
    
# Use the DNSClient contextmanagers: `new_client_context` or `new_aio_client_context`
with whodap.DNSClient.new_client_context() as dns_client:
    for domain, tld in [('google', 'com'), ('google', 'buzz')]:
        response = dns_client.lookup(domain, tld)

# Equivalent asyncio call
async with whodap.DNSClient.new_aio_client_context() as dns_client:
    for domain, tld in [('google', 'com'), ('google', 'buzz')]:
        response = await dns_client.aio_lookup(domain, tld)

• Configurable httpx client:

import asyncio

import httpx
import whodap

# Initialize a custom, pre-configured httpx client ...
httpx_client = httpx.Client(proxies=httpx.Proxy('https://user:pw@proxy_url.net'))
# ... or an async client
aio_httpx_client = httpx.AsyncClient(proxies=httpx.Proxy('http://user:pw@proxy_url.net'))

# Three common methods for leveraging httpx clients are outlined below:

# 1) Pass the httpx client directly into the convenience functions: `lookup_domain` or `aio_lookup_domain`
# Important: In this scenario, you are responsible for closing the httpx client.
# In this example, the given httpx client is used as a contextmanager; ensuring it is "closed" when finished.
async with aio_httpx_client:
    futures = []
    for domain, tld in [('google', 'com'), ('google', 'buzz')]:
        task = whodap.aio_lookup_domain(domain, tld, httpx_client=aio_httpx_client)
        futures.append(task)
    await asyncio.gather(*futures)

# 2) Pass the httpx_client into the DNSClient classmethod: `new_client` or `new_aio_client`
aio_dns_client = await whodap.DNSClient.new_aio_client(aio_httpx_client)
result = await aio_dns_client.aio_lookup('google', 'buzz')
await aio_httpx_client.aclose()

# 3) Pass the httpx_client into the DNSClient contextmanagers: `new_client_context` or `new_aio_client_context`
# This method ensures the underlying httpx_client is closed when exiting the "with" block.
async with whodap.DNSClient.new_aio_client_context(aio_httpx_client) as dns_client:
    for domain, tld in [('google', 'com'), ('google', 'buzz')]:
        response = await dns_client.aio_lookup(domain, tld)

Roadmap

[alpha] 0.1.X Release:

• Support for RDAP "domain" queries
• Support for RDAP "ipv4" and "ipv6" queries
• Support for RDAP ASN queries
• Abstract the HTTP Client (httpx is the defacto client for now)
• Add parser utils/helpers for IPv4, IPv6, and ASN Responses (if someone shows interest)
