WebResource

    • A WebResource represents a verified website or domain and includes its ID, URL/domain, and a list of owners, which always includes the authenticated user.

    • You can verify ownership, retrieve, update, and delete WebResources using the provided methods.

    • WebResource data includes an ID, owner list, and site information containing the identifier and type (e.g., website, Android app, domain).

    • site.identifier can be a domain name, a URL, or an Android app URL depending on the site.type .

    • Several methods are available to manage WebResources, including inserting (verifying ownership), retrieving data, updating owner lists, deleting, listing all verified resources, and getting a verification token.

    A WebResource is a representation of a verified website or domain.

    It contains the canonical ID of a site or domain, the URL or domain name, and a list of owners. Note that the owners list always includes the authenticated user, because the only people who can access a WebResource are authenticated users who are owners of that site or domain.

    For a list of methods for this resource, see the end of this page.
