Check Domain

Play around with Altravia srl Test API for fun but also for profit

The Problem

We want to have a small, fast program that:

• Checks for purchase availability of an italian internet domain.
• If the domain is available, purchase it.

We want to run this program as a scheduled task, for example as a cronjob on a Linux server, where it will be run every hour or so.

The Constraints

• The program should be small, lightweight and require minimal dependencies to run.
• We should use Altravia's API. Altravia is a web registrar whom has given us permission to use their api. Credentials are available, and also documentation.
• We should run it responsibly, without spamming Altravia srl's api.
• The application should be written in Go, with TDD approach.
• Deadline for a working product is 10th of September 2019.

Requirements

Obtain API credentials, and store them in an internal/.env file:

APIKEY=759827398275345345FDGSRTHSRTH5345345345DGDFGDFGDFG
USERNAME=john@gopher.com

Check internal/request_data.go for validity of information.

Install

go install github.com/sk1u/checkdomain/cmd/checkdomain

Run

checkdomain
checkdomain -d example.it

Test
