Check out the availability of a list of domains.

Do you want to know if a domain .com is available? With this script, you can find out the availability of a domain or a list of domains, saved in a JSON file or a text file.

I've also created a Telegram bot with Python, called @CheckDomainAPI_bot, that does the same thing of CheckDomain.py script. You can text to it the domain to check it out. I use AWS to host the bot.

This script is created with:

• Python, if you are using Windows, add it to the PATH (guide)
• requests and json modules. You can easily download with pip install requests and pip install ijson (if ijson does not work, use jsonlib)
• GoDaddy API Keys

1. Create a GoDaddy account to get the API Keys needed.

2. Insert them into the file credentials.py.

3. Edit the file domains.txt with the list of domains that you want to check out (don't add .com, but only write the name of the website).

4. Run the script, using python CheckDomain.py, in the terminal. After that, the script asks you which file to open, with the command line: choice = int(input("Text file [1] or Json file [2]? "))

5. The script opens the file and reads the domains' name and for each domain it executes a request get, one by one, throught the GoDaddy API.

6. If the domain is available, it will save in a text file, called AvailableWebsites.txt, with the command line:

f = open('AvailableWebsites.txt', 'w')
f.write(name+'.com is available\r\n')

Sometimes GoDaddy API doesn't work and it says that a domain is avalaible when it's not and I don't know why. To check if the domain is available, click the link that the script sends to you.
