How to Verify Domain Ownership in Scraping Camel for Shoptet#

When creating a new project (website) in the Scraping Camel extension, you must prove your relationship to the domain. This measure prevents the tool from being misused for scraping third-party websites or competitors. If you use the Shoptet platform, the most suitable and straightforward verification method for you will be using a meta tag.

How to complete verification in Scraping Camel#

1. Getting the verification code in Scraping Camel#

The first step is to create a new project and generate a unique code directly in Scraping Camel.

  • In the Websites section, click the New website button.
  • In the wizard, enter the name and URL of your website.
  • In the domain verification step, select the meta tag method.
  • The extension will generate a short code (HTML tag) — copy it.

2. Inserting the code in the Shoptet admin#

You now need to insert this code into the header of your website.

  • Log in to your Shoptet admin.
  • Go to Appearance and content → Editor → HTML code.
  • Find the field called Header (before the closing HEAD tag).
  • Paste the meta tag you obtained from Scraping Camel into this field.
  • Save the change.

⚠️ Important: The meta tag must remain on the website permanently. If you remove the code from the header, verification will stop working and Scraping Camel will lose access to that domain.

3. Completing the verification#

After saving the code in the Shoptet admin, return to the Scraping Camel interface.

  • Continue to the next step in the website creation wizard.
  • Scraping Camel will automatically check for the presence of the tag in the source code of your website and confirm successful verification.

FAQ#

Why do I need to verify domain ownership?#

Scraping Camel is designed exclusively for processing your own websites or those of your clients. Domain verification prevents the tool from being misused for scraping third-party or competitor websites, and ensures that only an authorised person is working with the data.

Shoptet allows you to insert custom HTML code directly from the admin without requiring DNS access or access to template files. It is therefore the fastest and most straightforward verification method for users of this platform.

Where exactly in the Shoptet admin do I insert the code?#

In the Appearance and content → Editor → HTML code section, in the Header field (before the closing HEAD tag). Code inserted there will appear in the header of all pages of your online store.

What happens if I remove the code from the header?#

Verification will stop working and Scraping Camel will lose access to that domain. The meta tag must remain in the header permanently for as long as you are using the extension.

What should I do if verification is not working after inserting the code?#

Check that you saved the change in the Shoptet admin and that you copied the complete meta tag from the Scraping Camel wizard without any modifications.
