Using throne

Using throne is very easy! Let's start by going through the base throne command.

throne output
[user@throne ~] throne
Usage: throne [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Throne is a command line tool to query various things on the internet.

Options:
  -v, --verbose  Enables verbose mode.
  --help         Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  api     Retrieve API keys from the throne API
  bgp     Retrieve BGP related information.
  ip      Retrieve IP related information.
  pdb     Retrieve information from PeeringDB.
  shodan  Retrieve information from Shodan.
  whois   Retrieve WHOIS information on domains.

Options

Throne doesn't have very many options availble in the base command. In fact you have 2 availble to you. -v and --help.

Using --help with throne, at any point in time within any of the commands it will provide you details on nested commands, arguments and options of each command. The output will be similar to what is above.

When using -v with throne, you will be telling it to enable verbose mode. Verbose mode essentially enables debugging and shows you everything throne is trying to do/doing when you execute a command.

Example
[user@throne ~]$ throne -v bgp asn 59
