This Python library implements different strategies to validate the ownership of a domain name.
All strategies takes 3 arguments: the domain to check, a static DNS safe prefix like "yourservice-domain-verification" and a randomly generated code.
- DNS TXT record: checks for the
{prefix}-{code}string present in one of theTXTrecords on the domain name. - DNS CNAME record: checks for the existence of
CNAME` record composed on the static ``{prefix}-{code}on the domain pointing to domain (usually yours) which the host is {prefix} (i.e.: {prefix}.yourdomain.com). NOTE: you may want to make sure that {prefix}.yourdomain.com resolves to something as some zone editors may check that. - Meta Tag: checks for the presence of a
<meta name="{prefix}" content="{code}">tag in the<head>part of the domain's home page using either HTTP or HTTPs protocols. - HTML File: checks for the presence of a file named
{code}.htmlat the root of the domain's website containing the string{prefix}={code}using either HTTP or HTTPs protocols.
Simple usage will check the domain with all available strategies and return True if the validation passed:
import domcheck
domain = "example.com"
prefix = "myservice-domain-verification"
code = "myserviceK2d8a0xdhh"
if domcheck.check(domain, prefix, code):
print "This domain is verified"You may filter strategies by passing a coma separated list of strategies:
domcheck.check(domain, prefix, code, strategies="dns_txt,meta_tag")To install domcheck, simply:
$ pip install domcheck
