### **Request example**

```json
{
  "method": "DNS_CNAME_RECORD"
}
```

### **Response example**

This response returns the verification data you must add to DNS. This step does not activate the domain.

```json
{
    "uuid": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6",
    "accountUuid": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6",
    "domain": "google.com",
    "status": "UNVERIFIED",
    "verifyInfo" : {
        "domain": "_whitedoc-verify",
        "value": "abc123"
    },
    "verifyMethod": "DNS_TXT_RECORD"
}
```

Add `verifyInfo.domain` and `verifyInfo.value` to DNS, then continue with [Confirm Account Domain Verification](https://support.docstudio.com/docstudio-docs/docstudio-for-developers/api-documentation/api-methods/account-domains/confirm-account-domain-verification).
