WHOIS for .商城 (nic.商城)

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

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

TLD: .商城
Type: idn
Punycode: xn--czru2d

.商城 is an internationalized top-level domain. Domain names travel in their ASCII (punycode) form, so the request asks for nic.xn--czru2d.

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