I’m trying to verify ownership of my custom domain api.howsthesky.com for Google Cloud. I followed the instructions provided by Google to add a TXT record containing google-site-verification=blahblahblah, but it wasn’t able to verify ownership, even after 48 hours.
$ host -t txt howsthesky.com
howsthesky.com descriptive text "google-site-verification=YcsC-ZCdgPRwPKEQPXK6jNkfkahUmcETLrOuYLIC1RQ"
The record looks well-formatted to me, but maybe they want it for api.howsthesky.com and not howsthesky.com ? If that isn’t the answer, not sure what google is or isn’t doing with it, but I guess their forums would be the place to ask.
