Verifying Proxy Contract using cURL

// example with only the mandatory contract address parameter
curl -d "address=0xcbdcd3815b5f975e1a2c944a9b2cd1c985a1cb7f" "https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=contract&action=verifyproxycontract&apikey=YourApiKeyToken"

// example using the expectedimplementation optional parameter
// the expectedimplementation enforces a check to ensure the returned implementation contract address == address picked up by the verifier
curl -d "address=0xbc46363a7669f6e12353fa95bb067aead3675c29&expectedimplementation=0xe45a5176bc0f2c1198e2451c4e4501d4ed9b65a6" "https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=contract&action=verifyproxycontract&apikey=YourApiKeyToken"
