Submit a bulk list of URLs to search engines via the IndexNow protocol

domain: indexnow.org · 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Generate an IndexNow API key (a unique token) and host it at `https://yourdomain.com/{key}.txt` with the key as the file's sole content.
  2. Construct a POST request to `https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow` (or a supported search engine endpoint) with `Content-Type: application/json`.
  3. Include a JSON body: `{"host": "yourdomain.com", "key": "YOUR_TOKEN", "keyLocation": "https://yourdomain.com/YOUR_TOKEN.txt", "urlList": ["https://...", ...]}` with up to 10,000 URLs in the `urlList` array.
  4. Expect an HTTP 200 or 202 response on success; 400 indicates an invalid request (check key or URL format), 403 indicates a key mismatch.
  5. Rotate or resubmit only changed/new URLs — submitting unchanged URLs wastes quota and may trigger throttling.
