Domain Verification¶

Manage domain ownership verification.

Overview¶

Domain verification proves you own a domain by requiring you to add a specific TXT record to your DNS. The workflow is:

1. Create a verification request for your domain
2. Add the provided TXT record to your DNS
3. Trigger the verification check
4. Domain is marked as verified

Commands¶

List Domains¶

bnerd domains list

Lists all domains for your organization, including both verified and pending domains.

Get Domain Details¶

bnerd domains get <domain-id>

Create Verification Request¶

bnerd domains create <domain-name>

Creates a new domain verification request. The output includes instructions for the TXT record you need to add to your DNS:

Domain verification request created!

Add the following TXT record to your DNS:
  Host:  _hq-verify.example.com
  Type:  TXT
  Value: bnerd-verify=abc123...
  TTL:   300

Then run: bnerd domains verify <domain-id>

Verify Domain¶

bnerd domains verify <domain-id>

Triggers a DNS lookup to check if the verification TXT record exists. On success, the domain status changes to verified.

Regenerate Verification Token¶

bnerd domains regenerate <domain-id>

Generates a new verification token. You'll need to update the TXT record in your DNS with the new value.

Delete Domain¶

bnerd domains delete <domain-id>

Deletes an unverified domain verification request.

Verification Workflow Example¶

# Step 1: Create verification request
bnerd domains create example.com
# Note the domain ID and TXT record details

# Step 2: Add TXT record to your DNS
bnerd dns records create <zone-id> \
  --name _hq-verify.example.com. \
  --type TXT \
  --content "bnerd-verify=abc123..."

# Step 3: Wait for DNS propagation, then verify
bnerd domains verify <domain-id>

TUI Equivalent¶

In the interactive TUI (bnerd x), use the :domains command to manage domains.
