WHOIS for .sh (nic.sh)

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

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

TLD: .sh
Type: country-code

.sh is the country-code top-level domain of Saint Helena.

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