|
| 120 | +#### From v2.0 to v3.0 |
| 121 | +
|
| 122 | +**Interactive Mode** - No changes required! The interactive menu still works exactly as before: |
| 123 | +
|
| 124 | +```bash |
| 125 | +python hackertarget.py |
| 126 | +``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +**New CLI Mode** - Take advantage of new features: |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +```bash |
| 131 | +# Old way (still works) |
| 132 | +python hackertarget.py |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +# New way - Direct command |
| 135 | +hackertarget dns google.com |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +# New features |
| 138 | +hackertarget whois example.com -o json -s output.json |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +**API Usage** - Backward compatible: |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +```python |
| 144 | +# Old way (still works) |
| 145 | +from source import hackertarget_api |
| 146 | +result = hackertarget_api.hackertarget_api(3, "google.com") |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +# New way (recommended) |
| 149 | +from source import HackerTargetAPI |
| 150 | +with HackerTargetAPI() as api: |
| 151 | + result = api.query(3, "google.com") |
| 152 | +``` |
