Indexing API

The Indexing API is a Google service that allows websites to notify Google in real time when a job posting, broadcast event, or Q&A page is added, updated, or removed. This can accelerate indexing compared to waiting for organic crawls. While limited to specific content types, it’s useful for time-sensitive content. Implementation requires server-side integration and authentication via Google Cloud. Most general websites rely on sitemaps or the URL Inspection Tool instead. Note: misuse (e.g., spammy notifications) can lead to API restrictions.
