Sensible high-level DNS lookups in Python, using DNSpython resolver

Project description

PyNslookup

PyPi package

Simple, sensible high-level DNS lookups in Python (on top of dnspython dns.resolver).

The main purpose and uses of this library:

  • A record lookups (typical DNS queries)
  • SOA lookups

Returns an object containing two arrays:

  • response_full: the full DNS response string(s)
  • answer: the parsed DNS answer (list of IPs or SOA string)

Usage

from nslookup import Nslookup

domain = "example.com"

# Initialize Nslookup
dns_query = Nslookup()
# Alternatively, the Nslookup constructor supports optional
# arguments for setting custom dns servers (defaults to system DNS),
# verbosity (default: True) and using TCP instead of UDP (default: False)
dns_query = Nslookup(dns_servers=["1.1.1.1"], verbose=False, tcp=False)

ips_record = dns_query.dns_lookup(domain)
print(ips_record.response_full, ips_record.answer)

soa_record = dns_query.soa_lookup(domain)
print(soa_record.response_full, soa_record.answer)
