Verify a sending domain
const url = 'https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/1/email-domains/1/verify';const options = {method: 'POST', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}};
try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request POST \ --url https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/1/email-domains/1/verify \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'Checks a sending domain’s DNS records with the e-mail provider now, as the Verify button in the admin does, and returns the domain with its new state, records and next action. Call it when the user says they published or fixed the DNS records, instead of waiting for the automatic checks; it needs the right to edit e-mails, as the button does. A domain that was set up with a provider no longer in use is returned unchanged.

Header Parameters
Section titled “Header Parameters”Makes a retry of a POST safe: a repeat with the same key, body and GSC-Version returns the stored response with Idempotency-Replayed: true instead of running again. The key protects against repeated execution while the key store works. Saving the change and storing the response under the key are not atomic: if the process or the key store fails between them, the change is kept, the key is released after 15 minutes and a retry runs the request again. After a timeout or a 5xx, read the resource to check the result before retrying. 5xx and 429 responses and responses over 256 KB are not stored, so a repeat runs the request again. A key is kept for 24 hours. The same key with another body or version is 422; a repeat while the first request runs is 409.

Responses
Section titled “Responses”object
Domain the site’s emails are sent from, e.g. mail.example.com
True: the DNS records were found and emails go out from this domain; false: not verified yet
Where verification stands
DNS records the domain needs, to be published at its DNS provider; empty until verification has been started
object
What the record proves
Record type to create
Record name relative to the sending domain, as most DNS providers ask for it; @ is the domain itself
Full host name of the record
Exact value to publish
Why the last check failed, as the e-mail provider reported it; null when it did not fail or the reason is unknown. Verifying restarts the check and clears it until the provider fails again
What the user does next; see next_action_hint
One sentence on the next step, ready to show the user
When the domain was added
When the DNS records were last checked; null when never
