Overview

This node verifies the ownership or validity of a domain name using the "Verify a Domain" operation under the "Business" resource. It is useful in scenarios where you need to confirm that a domain exists, is properly configured, or is associated with a legitimate business. Practical applications include onboarding new users by verifying their company domains, preventing fraudulent signups, or automating compliance checks for business partners.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the results of the domain verification. While the exact structure depends on the external API response, typical fields may include:

• valid: Boolean indicating if the domain is valid.
• domain: The domain that was checked.
• details or similar: Additional information about the domain's status or any issues found.

Example output:

{
  "valid": true,
  "domain": "example.com",
  "details": {
    "reason": "Domain is active and reachable"
  }
}

If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message.

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the CodeKit API endpoint for business/domain verification.
• Credentials: You must configure the codeKitApi credential in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or Invalid Domain: If the "Domain" property is empty or incorrectly formatted, the node may throw an error such as Invalid domain format. Ensure you provide a valid domain name.
• API Key Issues: If the codeKitApi credential is missing or invalid, you may see authentication errors like 401 Unauthorized. Double-check your credentials configuration.
• Network/Service Errors: Errors such as ENOTFOUND, ECONNREFUSED, or timeouts indicate connectivity issues with the external service. Verify network access and service availability.
• Error Handling: If "Continue On Fail" is enabled, errors are returned in the output as { "error": "Error message" }.
