score-neutral

Verified publishers receive voice and correction rights, never veto over accurate records. A claim does not change scores, verdicts, rankings, or removal of accurate records.

The only public trust-record field affected by a verified claim is the publisher claimed marker. Pending and absent claims stay invisible on public site pages.

Proof methods

Publish one token

1DNS TXTCreate a TXT value exactly like crawldex-claim=<token> on the claimed domain.

  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'x-crawldex-principal-session: <principal_session>' \
  -d '{"domain":"example.com","method":"dns-txt"}'

Verify claim

POST /api/v1/claims/:domain/verify

DNS TXT and well-known proofs both use the exact value crawldex-claim=<token>. Resolver errors, missing files, or hostile HTML keep the claim pending with instructions.

  -H 'x-crawldex-principal-session: <principal_session>'
