WHOIS for .bmw (nic.bmw)

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

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

TLD: .bmw
Type: generic

.bmw is a generic top-level domain.

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