Ownercheck

ownercheck can be used to verify ownership of domains and mobile apps hosted on Android Play store or iOS app store. Domains can be verified by either adding a DNS record (CNAME or a TXT record) or by adding content to the existing website(a meta tag or uploading an empty file with the specified name). Mobile apps can be verified by checking the corresponding app page on app store for mention of user's verified domain in developers section of the page.

The library uses SQLite to store and match generated verification codes, which can be easily swapped with any database backend you use (check db.py, need to make it configurable later).

Installation

pip install ownercheck

Running tests

pip install tox 
tox

How to use

Verify domain ownership

User has access to the domain DNS settings

import ownercheck

ownercheck.generate_code('example.com', 'CNAME') 
# Now proceed to add a DNS entry for CNAME
ownercheck.verify_domain('example.com', 'CNAME')

User has access to the content hosted on the domain

import ownercheck

ownercheck.generate_code('example.com', 'METATAG') 
# Now proceed to add meta tag in your index.html as directed
ownercheck.verify_domain('example.com', 'METATAG') # returns a bool

Fetch mobile app links from domain

import ownercheck

ownercheck.fetch_apps(domain) 
# Do not use this for mobile apps verification. A malacious user can link to apps they do not own.
# Get all the link to apps on a page and then use ownercheck.verify_app instead.

Verify ownership of mobile apps on Play/App Store

import ownercheck

app_url = '' # Your Play store or App store published app URL    
domain = '' # Your domain related to the app    

ownercheck.verify_app(app_url, domain)
