WHOIS + Steampipe

Steampipe is an open source CLI to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL.

WHOIS is a widely used Internet record listing that identifies who owns a domain and how to get in contact with them. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) regulates domain name registration and ownership.

For example:

select
  domain,
  expiration_date
from
  whois_domain
where
  domain = 'steampipe.io';

+--------------+---------------------+
| domain       | expiration_date     |
+--------------+---------------------+
| steampipe.io | 2021-10-13 19:28:29 |
