Google Indexing Tool- Effortless Way To Instant Index Any Website

Google Indexing API or Indexing API is a service provided by Google to request for a fresh crawl of your web pages or URLs or for Instant Indexing of the web pages or URLs.

The Indexing API allows any website owner to directly notify Google when pages are added or removed from the websites. This allows Google to schedule for a fresh crawl. This can lead to higher-quality traffic.

Currently, the indexing API can only be used for Job Posting or Broadcast Event types web pages or URLs. But you can also request for websites/ blogs of other niches without any issue.

What Is An API?

An API or Application Programming Interface is a connection between computers or computer programs. API helps two different computers to communicate and exchange data with each other.

What We Can Do With The Google Indexing API?

1. Update a URL: Notify Google of a new URL to crawl or that content at a previously-submitted URL has been updated.
2. Remove a URL: After you delete a page from your servers, notify Google so that we can remove the page from our index and so that we don’t attempt to crawl the URL again.
3. Get the status of a request: Check the last time Google received each kind of notification for a given URL.
4. Send batch indexing requests: Reduce the number of HTTP connections your client has to make by combining up to 100 calls into a single HTTP request.

NOTE: In the above Online Google Indexing Toolkit, we have options to Update or Remove URLs from Google Search Results. Only 20 URLs at a time.
