This is a start to implementing hashicorp/terraform-provider-google#5698 which will ultimately allow TPG users to verify site ownership for use with the Google Search Console.

The verification system works by providing you with a random-looking value (which is what this new data source obtains for you) which you then add to your site as a meta tag a la:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>My Web Site</title>
    <meta name="google-site-verification" content="-token-you-got-from-this-new-data-source-" />
  </head>
  <body>
    ...

You can also use the token in a DNS record, or in a separate file on your web site, or in several other ways. The gist is that by making a modification to a web site that includes a Google supplied value you are verifying that you are an owner of the site.

The steps will look something like:

  1. Use this data source to obtain the token
  2. Add the token to your site (for instance, by adding a DNS record via google_dns_record_set or adding a meta tag as shown above)
  3. Use the forthcoming google_site_verification_web_resource to request confirmation of your site ownership by validating that step 2 has taken place.
