# Check an origin's DNS record

`POST /v1/sites/{siteId}/origins/{originId}/verify`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.ironfang.com/analytics`
- URL: `https://api.ironfang.com/analytics/v1/sites/{siteId}/origins/{originId}/verify`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - HTTP bearer

Looks up the origin's TXT record (`dns_record` on the origin) once. If a record has exactly the expected value the origin is verified for good; a later failed lookup never un-verifies it. Not finding the record is a normal answer (200 with `found` false), because DNS changes take time to appear. Needs analytics.sites.write.

## Response `200`

The result of the check

- object
  - `detail` string: Why the record was not found, when it was not.
  - `found` boolean, required
  - `origin` Origin, required
    - `checked_at` string, date-time
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
    - `dns_record` object: The TXT record to publish; absent for loopback origins.
      - `name` string, required
      - `type` 'TXT', required
      - `value` string, required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `origin` string, required
    - `site_id` string, uuid, required
    - `verification` 'pending' | 'verified' | 'not_required', required
    - `verification_token` string
    - `verified_at` string, date-time

## Other responses

- `401`: No credential, an invalid one, an expired partner integration key, or a delegated token where none is accepted (`unauthorized`, `invalid_api_key`, `api_key_expired`, `delegated_not_allowed`).
- `403`: The credential lacks the permission or scope, names another organisation, or belongs to a partner integration that is not active (`forbidden`, `insufficient_scope`, `integration_inactive`).
- `404`: No such object in this organisation (`not_found`).
