Verify Your Domain

Domain verification proves you own the domain linked to your API key. Without verification, your key runs in test mode with a limit of 100 requests per day.

Why Verify?

  • Verified: Full access to your plan's monthly quota
  • Unverified: Limited to 100 requests/day (test mode)

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 your key reverts to test mode.
