Domain WHOIS Examples by TLD · Example 134 of 138 in Internationalized (IDN)

WHOIS for .广东 (nic.广东)

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

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

TLD: .广东
Type: idn
Punycode: xn--xhq521b

.广东 is an internationalized top-level domain. Domain names travel in their ASCII (punycode) form, so the request asks for nic.xn--xhq521b.

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