WHOIS for .za (nic.za)

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

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

TLD: .za
Type: country-code

.za is the country-code top-level domain of South Africa.

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