`GET https://api.deepinfo.com/v1/lookup/whois?domain=nic.bw`

The raw WHOIS record of nic.bw from the .bw registry; Deepinfo returned no parsed record.

Example 33 of 231 in **Country-Code** · [Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD](/reference/lookup/domain-whois/examples/) · endpoint: [Domain WHOIS](/reference/lookup/domain-whois/)

Tags: `tld` `.bw` · `type` `country-code`

`.bw` is the country-code top-level domain of Botswana.

The example requests the WHOIS record of `nic.bw`, the registry's own domain by convention, so `raw` shows the `.bw` registry's WHOIS format, as the WHOIS server returned it. The registry answered, but Deepinfo returned no parsed record for this answer: `parsed` is `null` and `parse_code` is 13007.
