.co whois lookup

[Evolve Web Hosting]

Does anyone know how to get the .co lookup going again?

I've tried this and had no luck

"extensions": ".co,.net.co,.com.co,.nom.co",
        //"uri": "socket://whois.nic.co",
        "uri": "https://whois.registry.co",
        "available": "No Data Found"

I am using v8.13.2 but I see the dist.whois.json file is the same for v9.0.3

Hi @Evolve Web Hosting, try this-

 {
        "extensions": ".co,.net.co,.com.co,.nom.co",
        "uri": "socket://whois.registry.co",
        "available": "DOMAIN NOT FOUND"
    },

Hi @WHMCS SamP

Thanks for the help. I tried that and it's not working. I am trying to use the WHMCS Namespinning lookup provider with this.

Did you try it exactly as written?

@bear yes I changed https://whois.registry.co to socket://whois.registry.co and it still doesn't work.

Hi @Evolve Web Hosting it is not just the socket URL; the available string is also different. Have you tried replacing your entire block with the one I provided? I tested this before sharing it with you, and it is working for me.

@WHMCS SamP That's what I did wrong. I overlooked the change for the available string. Thank you for helping me out.

No worries. Glad to hear it is working correctly for you now. 🙂
