Domains

Vulnerability scans may require extensive requests to targets, which can be perceived as malicious attacks and make scans fail.

To avoid that, Snyk API & Web requires the verification of the domain of targets to prove the ownership, i.e., that requests from vulnerability scans are allowed.

Functionality

The endpoints under Domains provide the following functionality:

  • Create and manage domains.
  • Verify the ownership of domains.

Important Notes

Some relevant information when using Domains:

  • Snyk API & Web has several methods to verify domains, which are described in this article.
  • Depending on the method, different server-side configurations may be needed, such as adding a file to the website root folder or a record to the Domain Name System (DNS).
