Validate DKIM in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Check DKIM records by the row. Verifies each domain's DKIM DNS records — Google Sheets or Excel, auto-refreshing.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 5 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Audit a list of domains

Put your domains in a column and fill =VERVE("dkimvalidator", "google.com", "field", "selector") to pull each one's records or health into the grid — a whole portfolio checked at once.

Enrich a prospect sheet

Add domain intelligence beside your leads so sales or security can sort and prioritize without leaving the sheet.

Monitor on a schedule

Let auto-refresh re-check every domain periodically so a monitoring sheet flags changes on its own.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("dkimvalidator", "google.com", "field", "selector")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("dkimvalidator", "google.com", "field", "selector")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

selector

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Validate DKIM, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Validate DKIM into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("dkimvalidator", "google.com", "field", "host") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Validate DKIM?

Validate DKIM returns host, dkim_host, has_dkim_record, dkim_record and dkim_records_count, plus 6 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Validate DKIM returns?

Yes — Validate DKIM takes "selector" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("dkimvalidator", "google.com", "selector", "google") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Which Validate DKIM fields need a paid plan?

issues_found is included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Can I fill a whole column of Validate DKIM at once?

Yes. Put your domain values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Validate DKIM cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 5 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Validate DKIM work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
