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).

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', 'CNAME') # 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.
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)
