WHOIS workflow

[pnut]

Hi,

 

A simple whois workflow where you can input a domain with or without http(s)://

 

Posting my first ever workflow. By no means a programmer, so probably the approach of the workflow could have been done in several other ways. Suggestions are welcome!

 

Working with a web development company, I do approximately 20-30 WHOIS searches a day. It was very easy to make an "Open URL" workflow with Alfred using "https://www.who.is/whois/{query}". However, that particular site is sensitive to http(s):// being part of the url… If http(s):// is part of the url, it will give a page not found. Therefor I found myself spending too much time on deleting http(s):// from my copied domains in the Alfred window.

 

I needed to figure this one out. I wanted a workflow that no matter what I type, with or without http(s)://, would give me results on the https://www.who.is/whois/ page. 

 

Easier said then done, "Open Url" so far cannot be used as (part of) an Output. I actually needed to program! Yikes!

 

So here it is, a simple workflow for those who use WHOIS on a regular base: Download Simple WHOIS workflow

Hopefully someone can use it… 

 

And please be gentle on my "coding"… as mentioned.. not a programmer!

Piet,

 

Thanks! I tend to do a lot of Whois lookups and this fit the bill perfectly.

Glad to hear the workflow is of use to you!

Thanks for the workflow. What a pity... who.is does not work with .es domains :-/

Works well, nice

Thanks for the workflow. What a pity... who.is does not work with .es domains :-/

 

Getting this to work with a whois site that does work with .es domains should be very simple. Check this: http://blueocean.clarify-it.com/d/fz6kqy
