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

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

Example 106 of 231 in **Country-Code** · [Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD](/reference/lookup/domain-whois/examples/) · endpoint: [Domain WHOIS](/reference/lookup/domain-whois/)

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

`.jp` is the country-code top-level domain of Japan.

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