Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD

One example per top-level domain in the IANA root zone: 1,361 of its 1,438 TLDs (the API currently returns an error for the other 77; they are listed below). Every example sends the same request, GET /lookup/whois?domain=nic.<tld>; only the response differs.

nic.<tld> is, by convention, the registry's own domain: ICANN reserves the name nic in every generic TLD for its registry operator, and most country-code registries use it too. Its WHOIS record therefore comes straight from the registry, and each example shows that registry's WHOIS format: the raw text in raw and, where Deepinfo parses the record, the same record in Deepinfo's fields in parsed.

For some registries the API returns only the raw text: parsed is null and parse_code holds a code. That is the case for 142 of the 1,361 TLDs as of September 23, 2026 (for 15 of them the registry's WHOIS server answered that it found no record for nic.<tld>); their examples say so.

Responses are real, captured from the API. Long raw WHOIS texts are cut at 4,000 characters, and personal data (names, addresses, phone numbers and personal e-mail addresses of natural persons) is redacted. raw and parsed are redacted separately, so a contact's name or organization can be redacted in one and shown in the other: when in doubt, it is redacted.
