Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD · Example 3 of 138 in Internationalized (IDN)

WHOIS for .佛山 (nic.佛山)

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

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

TLD: .佛山
Type: idn
Punycode: xn--1qqw23a

.佛山 is an internationalized top-level domain. Domain names travel in their ASCII (punycode) form, so the request asks for nic.xn--1qqw23a.

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