Domainr Command Line Script makes picking a new one easier than ever
- benjaminasmith 15y agoDomainr has been a fantastic tool for a long time, and this will certainly be handy for those furious coding moments when you need a name and don't want to mess around. My only enhancement request (for Domainr really, though it could be implemented in the script) is to flag those TLDs which require local citizenship or other hoop-jumping in order to make a purchase.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI use domainr as well, my only complaint is that it loves clever ccTLDs and ignores non-trendy gTLDs like .info and .biz.
- addandsubtract 15y agoTry ajaxwhois.com to include the TLDs you want (if they're supported), or just search gandi.net for all of their 96 TLDs :)
- AdamTReineke 15y agoI would second the request to flag or exclude domains that aren't available to everyone.
- TalSafran 15y agoSounds like a good idea (I wrote the CLI). Wish there was a list out there with all the quirky registration rules. I've also been thinking about adding prices. Thanks for checking it out!

- TalSafran 15y agoHa, at work and didn't feel like Googling. This Wikipedia thing is good!
- c_t_montgomery 15y agoThis is pretty awesome - nice job with it! Just a shameless plug, I released a Domai.nr Chrome Extension just over a week ago that I think would go well with this, if you're a Chrome user. You can find it here: http://goo.gl/O8rtK http://goo.gl/O8rtK
- ebcase 15y ago(I'm one of Domainr's creators) Nice work! We've been meaning to build out a Domainr CLI but haven't been able to make time for it -- we were hoping that somebody might put one together via the API.
- TalSafran 15y agoThanks for checking it out! Huge fan of Domainr.
- dave1010uk 15y agoSimple shell script version: domainr() { curl -s domai.nr/api/json/search?q=$1 | tr '{' '\n' | grep register | awk ' { print $2 "-" $12 } ' | sed 's/[^0-9a-z\.\-]/ /g'; }
