+1. `network_name` is the name of the network you want to deploy to. It must be added to the hardhat config under `networks` beforehand.
+2. If the hardhat plugin cannot figure out the etherscan API url for the network, you can add it manually to `tasks/deploy_verify.ts`.
+Example:
+```ts
+await hre.run('etherscan-verify', {
+  forceLicense: true,
+  license: 'LGPL-3.0',
+  apiUrl: "https://api.gnosiscan.io"
+})
