const whois = require('whois-api');
const DOMAIN_NAME = 'google.com';
whois.lookup(DOMAIN_NAME, function(error, result) {
if (error) {
// Error condition
console.error('Something went wrong', error);
return;
}
console.log(`Queried ${DOMAIN_NAME}. Results:`);
console.log(`Creation Date: ${result.creation_date}`);
console.log(`Updated Date: ${result.updated_date}`);
console.log(`Expiration Date: ${result.expiration_date}`);
/*
It should say:
Queried google.com. Results:
Creation Date: 1997-09-15T04:00:00Z
Updated Date: 2018-02-21T18:36:40Z
