WHOIS for .bf (nic.bf)

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

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

TLD: .bf
Type: country-code

.bf is the country-code top-level domain of Burkina Faso.

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