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

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

TLD: .blue

.blue is a generic top-level domain.

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