Claims a store's homepage. Executing this method requires admin access.
If the homepage is already claimed, this will recheck the verification (unless the merchant is exempted from claiming, which also exempts from verification) and return a successful response. If ownership can no longer be verified, it will return an error, but it won't clear the claim. In case of failure, a canonical error message will be returned: * PERMISSION_DENIED: user doesn't have the necessary permissions on this MC account; * FAILED_PRECONDITION: - The account is not a Merchant Center account; - MC account doesn't have a homepage; - claiming failed (in this case the error message will contain more details).
