WHOIS for .nl (nic.nl)

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

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

TLD: .nl
Type: country-code

.nl is the country-code top-level domain of the Netherlands.

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