dqcli (dq)

TUI + NDJSON domain availability checker powered by librdap-storm (RDAP-first, WHOIS fallback on unknown).

Install

cargo build -p dqcli

Usage

# TUI (default, prioritizes parsed TLD if FQDN)

# NDJSON stream

# Explicit TLDs

Controls (TUI)

• Enter / y: copy selected domain
• o: open selected domain in browser (Namecheap search)
• Tab / f: filter All / Available / Taken
• i: edit query
• q / Esc: quit
• Navigation: ↑/↓ or j/k, PgUp/PgDn, Home/g, End/G

UI elements: spinner, progress bar (% complete), optional specific-domain row (if FQDN), live results, toast bar.

NDJSON format

{
  "query": "etellerannetlangtdomene",
  "tld": "com",
  "domain": "etellerannetlangtdomene.com",
  "available": true,
  "status": "available",
  "error": null
}

Status: available | taken | error.

Config

~/.config/dq/config.toml

[tlds]
never  = ["xxx", "adult"]

Notes

• Uses librdap-storm with shared reqwest pool + per-endpoint rate limiting.
• WHOIS fallback only when RDAP is unknown.
