Use this endpoint to submit a domain to be validated for the specified validation types.
After you submit a domain for validation, you can get the DCV token for the domain by using the Domain info endpoint. Additionally, you can generate a new DCV token by using the OV/EV SSL: Generate DCV token endpoint.
Include the optional dcv_method
parameter to specify the DCV method to used when proving control over the domain.
