Are you looking to ensure that your website's URLs are being properly indexed by Google?
Here's a quick guide on how to check the indexation status for multiple URLs at once!
In this article, we explore the process of using the Google Indexing API to submit URLs for indexing in bulk. By leveraging this powerful tool, you can efficiently monitor and manage the indexation status of your website's content.
Don't miss out on this valuable resource! Whether you're a website owner, developer, or SEO professional, mastering the art of Google indexation is crucial for maximizing your online visibility and driving organic traffic.
To check if a page is indexed in Google using the Google Search Console API, you can follow these general steps:
Set up Google Search Console: Make sure you have access to Google Search Console and have added the website whose pages you want to check.
1. Set up Google API credentials:
Go to the Google Cloud Console. https://console.cloud.google.com/welcome
Create a new project or select an existing one.
Enable the "Search Console API" for your project. https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/google/searchconsole.googleapis.com
Click on Manage Api
Create Service Account for your site, from manage service account tab
Make it as owner in role
Go to detail, copy email address
Make this email id as onwer in your site GSC account.
Go to Key tab
Add key > Create New Key > Json
Create credentials for a service account and download the JSON file containing the key and save it in desktop.
Install Google API Client Library: Install the Google API Client Library for your programming language of choice (e.g., Python, JavaScript).
2. Install Python latest version
Open command prompt
Type cd desktop enter
3. Install the Google API Python client library using the following command:
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
Query the Index Status: Once authenticated, you can use the Search Console API's urlTestingTools resource to check if pages are indexed.
Specifically, you'll use the inspect method to check the index status of individual URLs.
Bulk Processing: To check multiple URLs in bulk, you'll need to loop through your list of URLs and make a request for each one to check its index status.
Here's a simplified Python example using the google-auth and google-auth-oauthlib libraries for authentication and the googleapiclient library for making requests to the Google Search Console API:
4. Copy below code in notepad, Replace 'path/to/credentials.json' with the path to your downloaded JSON key file, remove double inverted comma and change back slash with forward slash.
Insert list of urls in "urls_to_check = [" with the list of URLs you want to check in the code. Replace your website url : siteUrl= :
from google.oauth2 import service_account
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from googlesearch import search
# Set up authentication for Google Search Console API
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters']
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = 'C:/Users/10151977/Desktop/hvbari-1a188aca4fe2.json'
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
# Build the Search Console service
service = build('searchconsole', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

}
response = service.searchanalytics().query(siteUrl='https://hbari.blogspot.com', body=request).execute()

return True
