 While ICANN does have an official [czds-api-client-python](https://github.com/icann/czds-api-client-python) repository, I rewrote it from scratch to be more streamline & included a [POSIX version](./czds) for portability. There is some [official documentation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icann/czds-api-client-java/master/docs/ICANN_CZDS_api.pdf) that was referenced in the creation of the POSIX version. Either way, big props to ICANN for allowing me to use the CZDS for research purposes!
