Project developed to allow exporting public ccTLD statistics in a common format. The idea is to create a system that will query this service in all ccTLDs so we can store the number of domains history for further studies.
For now there's only one service defined to retrieve the number of registered domains. To retrieve it just send a HTTP GET to /domains/registered. The response will be something like:
{
"number": 400000
}Possible HTTP codes: 200 (OK), 401 (Forbidden), 500 (Internal Server Error)
First you will need to download and install the Go compiler. For that go to the http://golang.org/dl website and choose the version for your OS and architecture.
Now you will need to setup the Go project structure and set the GOPATH environment variable. Choose a place to store the Go projects, as example $HOME/go/src, and set the GOPATH for it (GOPATH=$HOME/go).
Build the project with following line:
go get -u github.com/rafaeljusto/cctldstats
Now you can get it running, just set some environment variables that are requirements:
| Environment Variable | Explanation |
|---|---|
| CCTLDSTATS_DATABASE_KIND | Database type: "mysql" or "postgres" |
| CCTLDSTATS_DATABASE_NAME | Database name |
| CCTLDSTATS_DATABASE_USERNAME | Database username |
| CCTLDSTATS_DATABASE_PASSWORD | Database password |
| CCTLDSTATS_DATABASE_HOST | Database host with port (127.0.0.1:3306) |
| CCTLDSTATS_DOMAIN_TABLE_NAME | Name of the table that contain the domains |
| CCTLDSTATS_ACL | Allowed IP address separated by comma |
You're good to go! The server runs on port 8888. Logs will be printed on the standard output.
curl -i http://localhost:8888/domains/registered
