# Re-check a domain

`POST /domain/{domain_id}/recheck`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.faable.com`
- URL: `https://api.faable.com/domain/{domain_id}/recheck`
- Auth: one of:
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://faable.auth.faable.link/authorize`, token URL `https://faable.auth.faable.link/oauth/token`)
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (client credentials, token URL `https://faable.auth.faable.link/oauth/token`)
  - HTTP bearer
  - HTTP basic
  - API key in query parameter `apikey`

Check this domain’s DNS now. A dormant domain wakes up: it is checked and served again, and gets two more days to point at Faable.
