Use this endpoint to generate a new random value to use for domain control validation (DCV) for a domain submitted for OV or EV validation. Use the returned token to validate the domain using the DCV method set for the domain (http-txt-token, dns-txt-token, or dns-cname-token).
Calling this endpoint for a domain where the DCV method is not set or does not require a token returns an invalid_dcv_method error.

This endpoint only generates DCV tokens for OV and EV domains. To generate a DCV token for a DV domain, use the DV SSL: Generate DCV token endpoint.

| .. type | ignored | string |
Validation type identifier. See Glossary – Validation types. |
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| token | string |
Random value used to validate domain control for domains using the dns-txt-token, http-token, or dns-cname-token DCV methods.
|
| expiration_date | string |
Date and time when the token expires. Format: UTC timezone and ISO 8601 date |
| http_token_url | string |
For domains using the http-token DCV method, the URL path where the fileauth.txt file should be placed on the web server.Not returned for domains using other DCV methods. |
| verification_value | string |
For domains using the dns-cname-token DCV method, the domain to use in your CNAME record. For more information, see Use the DNS CNAME validation method to verify domain control.For domains using the http-token DCV method, the URL path where the fileauth.txt file should be placed on the web server.Not returned for domains using the dns-txt-token DCV method.
