POST/v1/domains/{id}/verify

Re-reads public DNS and the sending provider’s verification immediately. We also re-check automatically; a domain that was verified and loses its records stops sending until it is fixed.

Required scope: domains:manage

Parameters

idrequiredpathThe domain id.

Example

curl -X POST 'https://api.sendsend.email/v1/domains/ID/verify' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENDSEND_API_KEY"
