Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD · Example 79 of 138 in Internationalized (IDN)

WHOIS for .الجزائر (nic.الجزائر)

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

What the API returns when the .الجزائر registry's WHOIS server finds no record for nic.الجزائر.

TLD: .الجزائر
Type: idn
Punycode: xn--lgbbat1ad8j

.الجزائر is an internationalized top-level domain. Domain names travel in their ASCII (punycode) form, so the request asks for nic.xn--lgbbat1ad8j.

The example requests the WHOIS record of nic.الجزائر, the registry's own domain by convention. The .الجزائر registry's WHOIS server answered that it found no record for it: raw is that answer, parsed is null and parse_code is 13001.
