📦 RapidDNS — 技能工具

Installation

rapiddns-cli is cross-platform. Install via pre-built binary (recommended) or Go.

Option 1: Pre-built Binary (Recommended)

Download from GitHub Releases:

# Linux/macOS example
VERSION="1.0.2"
OS="linux"       # or "darwin" for macOS
ARCH="amd64"     # or "arm64"
curl -sL "https://github.com/rapiddns/rapiddns-cli/releases/download/v${VERSION}/rapiddns_v${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}.tar.gz" | tar xz
sudo mv rapiddns /usr/local/bin/
rapiddns-cli --help

Option 2: Go Install

Requires Go 1.24+:

go install github.com/rapiddns/rapiddns-cli@latest

Binary is placed in $GOPATH/bin (usually ~/go/bin). Add to PATH:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin' >> ~/.bashrc  # Linux
# or ~/.zshrc on macOS

API Key Configuration

Full features (export, unlimited search) require an API key from https://rapiddns.io/user/profile

rapiddns-cli config set-key 
rapiddns-cli config get-key   # verify

Without a key, search results are limited and export is disabled.

Common Workflows

Subdomain Search

# Basic — all records for a domain
rapiddns-cli search example.com
# Force search type (when auto-detect fails)
rapiddns-cli search 1.2.3.4 --type ip
# Auto-paginate up to 5000 records
rapiddns-cli search example.com --max 5000

Extract Subdomains / IPs

# Subdomains only (deduplicated text list)
rapiddns-cli search example.com --extract-subdomains
# IPs only + subnet statistics
rapiddns-cli search example.com --extract-ips
# Both
rapiddns-cli search example.com --extract-subdomains --extract-ips

Reverse IP & CIDR

# Reverse IP — what domains point to this IP?
rapiddns-cli search 1.2.3.4
# CIDR range — enumerate an entire subnet
rapiddns-cli search 129.134.0.0/16 --max 10000

Advanced Query

Use Elasticsearch-style syntax for complex queries:

# All A records for apple.com subdomains (domain = 2nd-level only!)
rapiddns-cli search "domain:apple AND type:A" --type advanced
# Specific subdomain pattern
rapiddns-cli search "subdomain:admin. AND tld:com" --type advanced
# MX records for a domain
rapiddns-cli search "type:MX AND domain:baidu" --type advanced
# Exact subdomain lookup
rapiddns-cli search 'subdomain:"mail.google.com"' --type advanced

Export (Requires API Key)

Automated workflow: trigger → poll → download → extract:

# Full export with subdomain + IP extraction
rapiddns-cli export start example.com --max 100000 --extract-subdomains --extract-ips
# Advanced query export
rapiddns-cli export start "domain:example AND type:A" --type advanced

Results saved to result/ directory.

Output Formats & Piping

# JSON (default)
rapiddns-cli search example.com -o json
# CSV
rapiddns-cli search example.com -o csv -f results.csv
# Text — pipe-friendly (stdout = clean data, stderr = status)
rapiddns-cli search example.com --column subdomain -o text | sort -u > subdomains.txt
# Silent mode — extract to files only, no console output
rapiddns-cli search example.com --extract-subdomains --silent

Field Reference

Advanced Query Syntax

⚠️ domain 字段是二级域名（不含 TLD）：用 domain:baidu，不要用 domain:baidu.com

Important: Date Accuracy

• Use -o text for displaying results with dates — includes subdomain, type, value, date.
• Use --column subdomain -o text for pure subdomain lists (pipe to other tools).
• JSON output (-o json) also includes dates but needs parsing; prefer -o text for display.
• Dates come directly from the API and match the rapiddns.io website exactly.

Response Language

• Match the user's language. If they ask in Chinese, respond in Chinese. If English, respond in English.
• CLI output (tables, lists) stays as-is (machine output). Summaries and explanations follow the user's language.

Display results

# Tab-separated table with dates (sorted newest first by default)
rapiddns-cli search  --max 5000 -o text 2>/dev/null
# Pure subdomain list for piping
rapiddns-cli search  --max 5000 --column subdomain -o text 2>/dev/null | sort -u

Tips

• Use --silent when piping or saving to file to suppress console output
• Note: --silent with --extract-subdomains still prints the extracted file path to stdout (CLI behavior)
• --max auto-paginates — no need to manually loop pages
• Without API key: search works but limited results; export disabled
• For large-scale recon, combine --extract-subdomains with other tools via pipe
