Example 22 of 992 in **Generic** · [Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD](/reference/lookup/domain-whois/examples/) · endpoint: [Domain WHOIS](/reference/lookup/domain-whois/)

Tags: `tld` `.africa` · `type` `generic`

`.africa` is a generic top-level domain.

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