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

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

TLD: .de
Type: country-code

.de is the country-code top-level domain of Germany.

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