Domainr Command Line Interface

If you're like me, you love the website Domai.nr. You type in a name you have in mind for a domain and it spits back as many clever domain possibilities as it can find, including domain hacks. That's badass.

Now if you're really like me, you like doing things in the command line as much as possible. I check for domains every time a silly idea pops into my head, which is very often. And I like doing it fast. So that's why I wrote this Domainr CLI.

Requirements and Installation

First go and grab the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/talsafran/domainr.git

I'm fairly confident you need version 2.6 or greater for the json library. So go and get that.

Now you can either copy the script into your PATH or create a symlink. Whatever floats your boat.

$ cp domainr /usr/local/bin

How to use this thing

Very simple. Just type in domainr and the name of the site you're looking for.

$ domainr talsafran
