Nice! I recently built a whois &quot;endpoint&quot; at <a href="http://whois.datasnitch.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;whois.datasnitch.co.uk&#x2F;</a> You can request a domain whois just by adding the name in the URI, e.g.: <a href="http://whois.datasnitch.co.uk/fluffcomputing.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;whois.datasnitch.co.uk&#x2F;fluffcomputing.com</a><p>The idea is to be able to use whois from my Windows command line as I do from Linux or OS X, so I wrote a quick and dirty Powershell script for that: <a href="https://gist.github.com/pjperez/d1af6c697a6997d07ed3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;pjperez&#x2F;d1af6c697a6997d07ed3</a><p>Works like a charm from Powershell, looks like shit with a browser :)

How where you able to accurately parse multiple registrar&#x27;s whois data (or is that a trade secret) since they all add disclaimers in odd places?<p>Although, my contact data from &quot;silvenga.com&quot; wasn&#x27;t parse correctly.
