# Re-check domain verification

`POST /api/v1/domains/{id}/verify`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.dmarc-examiner.com`
- URL: `https://api.dmarc-examiner.com/api/v1/domains/{id}/verify`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Re-queries DNS for the DMARC record at `_dmarc.{domain}` and confirms it
contains the organization's reporting email. Updates the domain status
to `verified` if found.

Returns `422 Unprocessable Entity` with the reason if verification fails.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Verification successful

- object
  - `verified` boolean, required
  - `domain` DomainDetail, required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string, required
    - `status` 'verified' | 'pending' | 'failed', required
    - `verified_at` string, date-time, nullable
    - `last_report_at` string, date-time, nullable
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
    - `reporting_email` string, email, required: Address to set in the `rua=` tag of your DNS DMARC record so reports are delivered to this organization.
    - `dmarc_host` string, required: DNS host where the DMARC record must be published.
    - `dmarc_record` string, required: DMARC record string ready to copy into your DNS as a TXT record. Includes a `ruf=` tag only if the current plan supports forensic reports.

## Other responses

- `401`: Authentication failed. Two shapes are possible depending on cause: - **Invalid or revoked key** — body is `{"message": "..."}` only. - **Missing `X-API-Key` header** — body adds an `error: "unauthorized"` machine-readable code. Clients should treat both as the same outcome and read `message` for display.
- `403`: The organization's current plan does not include the feature required by this endpoint (e.g. `apiAccess`, `forensicReports`, `advancedAlerts`). Distinct from `PlanLimitExceeded` (HTTP 402), which signals a *quota* exhausted on a feature the plan does include. If a customer downgrades to Free, all `/api/v1/*` requests will start returning this response.
- `404`: Resource not found.
- `422`: Verification failed
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded.
