Steps
Authenticate with a service account added as a delegated owner (or user OAuth) for the Search Console property being audited
Build a priority-ordered URL queue (e.g. from the sitemap or a crawl) since only 2,000 URLs/day per property can be inspected
Call urlInspection.index.inspect for each URL, throttling to stay under 600 requests/minute, and implement exponential backoff on 429s
Parse the indexStatusResult, richResultsResult and mobileUsabilityResult blocks separately since each carries its own verdict
Split large sites across multiple verified properties (e.g. subdirectory prefix properties) only if they are genuinely distinct properties, not as a quota-multiplying trick
Persist results with a timestamp and re-inspect only URLs that changed or are overdue, since inspection results are not guaranteed to reflect a real-time recrawl
Known gotchas
Quota is per property, not per project, so a multi-property site needs a queue per property rather than one shared budget
The inspection result can lag the live index state; a 'fresh' result is not a guarantee Google just recrawled the URL
Hitting the daily cap silently queues or errors depending on client library version, so log and alert on quota-exhausted responses rather than assuming success
