Use VerifyDomainIdentity with an AWS SDK or CLI - AWS SDK Code Examples

There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.

Use VerifyDomainIdentity with an AWS SDK or CLI

The following code examples show how to use VerifyDomainIdentity.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code examples:

CLI
AWS CLI

To verify a domain with Amazon SES

The following example uses the verify-domain-identity command to verify a domain:

aws ses verify-domain-identity --domain example.com

Output:

{
   "VerificationToken": "eoEmxw+YaYhb3h3iVJHuXMJXqeu1q1/wwmvjuEXAMPLE"
}

To complete domain verification, you must add a TXT record with the returned verification token to your domain's DNS settings. For more information, see Verifying Domains in Amazon SES in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.
