WHOIS for .ae (nic.ae)

GEThttps://api.deepinfo.com/v1/lookup/whois

The WHOIS record of nic.ae, in the .ae registry's format.

TLD: .ae
Type: country-code

.ae is the country-code top-level domain of the United Arab Emirates.

The example requests the WHOIS record of nic.ae, the registry's own domain by convention, so the response shows the .ae registry's WHOIS format: compare raw, the text as the WHOIS server returned it, with parsed, the same record in Deepinfo's fields.
