domain-check-0.6.0 is not a library.

domain-check

Fast, powerful CLI tool for checking domain availability using RDAP and WHOIS protocols.

Why domain-check?

Tired of switching between browser tabs and WHOIS websites to check if domains are available? domain-check brings fast, accurate domain availability checking directly to your terminal. Built in Rust for speed, with configuration files, environment variables, custom presets, and bulk processing for when you need to check hundreds of domains at once.

Perfect for developers, domain investors, startups, and anyone who works with domains regularly.

📦 Installation

Homebrew (macOS)

brew tap saidutt46/domain-check
brew install domain-check

Cargo (All Platforms)

cargo install domain-check

Download Binaries

Pre-built binaries available for macOS, Linux, and Windows: GitHub Releases

🚀 Quick Start

Check a single domain

domain-check example.com
# 🔴 example.com is TAKEN

Check multiple TLD variations

domain-check mystartup -t com,io,ai,dev
# 🔍 Checking 4 domains...
# 🔴 mystartup.com is TAKEN
# 🟢 mystartup.io is AVAILABLE
# 🟢 mystartup.ai is AVAILABLE  
# 🟢 mystartup.dev is AVAILABLE

Check ALL TLDs at once

# Check against ALL 35+ known TLDs in seconds
domain-check myapp --all
# 🔍 Checking 35+ domains across all TLDs...
# 🟢 myapp.com is AVAILABLE
# 🔴 myapp.io is TAKEN  
# 🟢 myapp.ai is AVAILABLE
# 🟢 myapp.dev is AVAILABLE
# ... (38 more results in ~2 seconds)

Use smart presets

# Check against startup-focused TLDs (8 TLDs)
domain-check myapp --preset startup

# Enterprise-focused TLDs (6 TLDs)
domain-check mybrand --preset enterprise

Bulk check from file

echo -e "myapp\nmystartup\ncoolproject" > domains.txt
domain-check --file domains.txt -t com,org --json > results.json

⚙️ Configuration & Customization

Configuration Files

Create persistent settings with configuration files:

# .domain-check.toml
[defaults]
concurrency = 25
preset = "startup"
pretty = true
timeout = "8s"
bootstrap = true

[custom_presets]
my_startup = ["com", "io", "ai", "dev", "app"]
my_enterprise = ["com", "org", "net", "biz", "info"] 
my_crypto = ["com", "org", "crypto", "blockchain"]

[output]
default_format = "pretty"
csv_headers = true

Configuration file locations (checked in order):

./domain-check.toml (project-specific)
~/.domain-check.toml (user global)
~/.config/domain-check/config.toml (XDG standard)

Environment Variables

Perfect for CI/CD and automation:

# Basic settings
export DC_CONCURRENCY=50
export DC_PRESET=startup
export DC_PRETTY=true
export DC_BOOTSTRAP=true

# File locations
export DC_CONFIG=/path/to/config.toml
export DC_FILE=/path/to/domains.txt

# Use in commands
DC_TIMEOUT=30s domain-check mystartup

Custom Presets

Define your own TLD combinations:

# Use custom preset from config file
domain-check mystartup --preset my_crypto

# Via environment variable  
DC_PRESET=my_startup domain-check mystartup

# One-time setup
cat > .domain-check.toml << 'EOF'
[defaults]
concurrency = 25
preset = "startup"
pretty = true

[custom_presets]
my_stack = ["com", "io", "dev", "app"]
EOF

# Now simple commands use your preferences
domain-check mystartup        # Uses startup preset, pretty output, 25 concurrency
domain-check --preset my_stack myproject  # Uses custom preset

Automation & CI/CD

# Environment-driven configuration
DC_CONCURRENCY=50 DC_PRESET=enterprise domain-check --file domains.txt --json

# Docker usage
docker run -e DC_PRESET=startup domain-check:latest myapp
