Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Google Site Verification API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Google Site Verification API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Google Site Verification API.

Request a verification token in any of four formats: HTML file, HTML meta tag, DNS TXT, or DNS CNAME

Verify ownership of a website or domain by calling insert after placing the token

List every webResource the authenticated user has verified

For Agents

Prove ownership of websites and DNS domains to Google so they can be claimed in Search Console, Analytics, and other Google products.

Use for: Verify ownership of example.com via DNS TXT record, Get the meta tag I need to place on my homepage to verify the site, List every site I have verified with my Google account, Add another email address as an owner of a verified property

Not supported: Does not handle search analytics, URL indexing, or DNS record creation - use for proving and managing site or domain ownership with Google only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Google Site Verification API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Search Console Onboarding Automation

When platforms onboard customer websites to Google Search Console, they automate Site Verification first. The flow is: call getToken to obtain a DNS TXT or HTML meta token, instruct the customer to place it, then call insert to verify. Once verified, the platform can also call the Search Console API on behalf of the customer.

Call POST /token with verificationMethod='DNS_TXT' for site type=INET_DOMAIN, then once the customer places the record call POST /webResource with the matching identifier.

Multi-Property Ownership Audit

Agencies and platforms managing many properties periodically list every verified webResource, cross-reference against the customer roster, and surface any properties that should be unclaimed. The API exposes list, get, and delete on webResources so this audit can run end to end without UI scraping.

Call GET /webResource to list every verified site, then for each one decide whether to call DELETE /webResource/{id} based on the current customer list.

Co-Ownership Management

Add or remove co-owners on a verified property without re-verification. The update and patch operations on a webResource accept a new owners array, which is useful when team members change or when a managed-services provider hands ownership back to the end customer.

Call PATCH /webResource/{id} with owners=['old@example.com','new@example.com'] to add a co-owner without disturbing the verification token.

AI Agent Property Manager

An AI agent acts as a property manager for an SEO or marketing platform - verifying customer sites, watching for failed verification (token removed), and re-running verification when DNS changes. Through Jentic the agent searches by intent and never holds the customer's Google OAuth refresh tokens directly.

On a webhook from a customer's DNS provider, call POST /webResource for the affected domain to re-run verification and notify the customer of the result.

Key Endpoints

7 endpoints — the google site verification api lets owners prove control over a website or dns domain so that google services like search console, analytics, adsense, and webmaster tools recognise them as the verified owner.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your Google OAuth credential for Site Verification is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'verify a domain via DNS TXT with Google' or 'get a verification token', and Jentic returns the matching Site Verification operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Google Site Verification API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Google Site Verification API use?

The API uses OAuth 2.0 with the siteverification or siteverification.verify_only scope. Through Jentic the OAuth client and refresh tokens are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and a scoped token is provided at execution.

Which verification methods does the API support?

Four methods: an HTML file uploaded to the site root, an HTML meta tag in the homepage head, a DNS TXT record on the domain, and a DNS CNAME record on the domain. Site type INET_DOMAIN supports DNS methods; SITE supports the HTML methods.

What are the rate limits for the Google Site Verification API?

Google enforces a default per-project quota of around 100 queries per second and reasonable daily caps; verification calls are typically infrequent so most callers stay well under the limits. Quotas can be raised via the Cloud Console quota page.

How do I verify a site through Jentic?

Run the Jentic search query 'verify ownership of a site with google', load POST /token to fetch the token, place it on the site or in DNS, then load POST /webResource to confirm verification. Jentic injects the OAuth token at execution.

Can I add multiple owners to a verified site?

Yes. PATCH /webResource/{id} or PUT /webResource/{id} with an updated owners list lets you add or remove co-owners. The verification token itself does not need to be replaced.

Does the API support sub-paths or only full origins?

Site verification covers a full HTTP origin (scheme + host) for SITE type and a full registrable domain for INET_DOMAIN. Sub-path verification is not supported; granular access is handled at the Search Console level instead.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Google Site Verification API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Site Verification operations and which OAuth credential the agent may use. Since the web resource sits in the URL path (/webResource/{id}), you can pin the agent to the resources you name and let it only request tokens and read a resource. Updating or deleting a web resource is not included unless you explicitly add those operations.
