Verify Your Domain

Domain verification proves you own the domain linked to your API key and reserves it for your account. Your key also works without verification, without restriction.

Why Verify?

  • Verified: the domain is reserved for your account — no other account can create a key for it or verify it.
  • Not verified: your key works without restriction, but the domain is not reserved for your account.

Method 1: DNS TXT Record

  1. Go to Dashboard → API Keys → Your Key → Security
  2. Click "Verify Domain" and select "DNS"
  3. Copy the verification token
  4. Add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings:
  5. Wait for DNS propagation (typically 15 minutes, up to 72 hours)
silentshield-verify=YOUR_TOKEN

Method 2: HTML Meta Tag

  1. Go to Dashboard → API Keys → Your Key → Security
  2. Click "Verify Domain" and select "Meta Tag"
  3. Copy the meta tag
  4. Add it to the <head> section of your website's homepage
  5. Deploy the change — verification takes effect immediately
<meta name="silentshield-verify" content="YOUR_TOKEN">

Checking Status

SilentShield checks pending verifications automatically every 5 minutes. You can also click "Check Status" in the dashboard for an immediate check.

  • Pending — Waiting for verification
  • Verified — Full access granted
  • Failed — Token not found, check your DNS/meta tag

Automatic Re-verification

Verified domains are automatically re-checked every 30 days to ensure the DNS record or meta tag still exists. If the check fails, the status changes to Failed and the reservation ends; your key keeps working.
