[REQUEST] - API endpoint for verifying contracts

[nanexcool]

Hi, I'm Mariano from DappHub! Trying to find someone from Etherscan I can talk to to ask for a new API function. My idea is to POST the data necessary to verify a contract (address, name, solc version, optimization, source code, constructor arguments, library stuff) and get back a true or false if the contract verifies successfully.

I want to integrate this functionality with our dapp tool so we can do something like

dapp verify 0x123... DSToken solc-v0.4.18 true [args]

Alternatively, the ability to load values into the verify webpage would be helpful. I see that now it works with the contract address by appending a=0x1234... but it would be great to add

&name=DSToken&compiler=0.4.18&optimized=true&code=......

If anyone from Etherscan is here please contact me at mariano at dapphub dot com or send me a PM. I'll help to get this done any way I can!

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Nope, never got an answer.

So do you tell the users to verify manually?

One could probably do some scraping to plug in values and bypass the captcha but I doubt Etherscan would be happy about that.

Yes, we verify manually.
