Indexing API

This module integrates your site with Google Indexing API to update Google Index

What is Google API indexing?

The Indexing API module allows any site owner to directly notify Google when pages are added or removed.

From the Google's website:

The Indexing API allows site owners to directly notify Google when their job posting or livestreaming video pages are added or removed. This allows Google to schedule pages for a fresh crawl, which can lead to higher quality user traffic. The Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. For websites with many short-lived pages like job postings or livestream videos, the Indexing API keeps content fresh in search results because it allows updates to be pushed individually.

Here are some of the things you can do with the Indexing API:

Update a URL: Notify Google of a new URL to crawl or that content at a previously-submitted URL has been updated.
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.
Get the status of a request: Check the last time Google received each kind of notification for a given URL.
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.
