Verify a domain's DNS records

POSThttps://api.pidgely.com/domains/{id}/verify
View as Markdown

Checks the DNS records now instead of waiting for the periodic check (every 5 minutes for new domains during their first 3 days, then daily). Sending is allowed once DKIM, the return-path MX and SPF pass; DMARC is recommended but not required. Watch domain.updated webhooks or retrieve the domain to see the result.

Authorization: Bearer pdg_…. An API key with full_access. A sending_access key gets 401 restricted_api_key.

Name Type Required Description
id string Yes Resource id UUID.
