Use Google's Indexing API only where Google documents eligibility: JobPosting pages and livestream BroadcastEvent pages. Indexaro tracks quota, service accounts, and request history — without claiming the API works for ordinary URLs.
The indexing API is Google's notification endpoint for a narrow set of URLs. You send URL_UPDATED or URL_DELETED. Google records the request and still decides whether to crawl, index, or rank the page.
Eligibility is limited to pages with JobPosting structured data and livestream pages with BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. Ordinary posts, products, and landing pages are outside the API. Use sitemaps, internal links, and Search Console for those.
The default publish quota is 200 requests per day per Google Cloud project, intended for onboarding and testing. A higher quota requires Google's approval process. Extra service accounts do not make ineligible pages eligible. The quota and eligibility guide covers that limit in detail. WordPress exceptions are in the Google Indexing API for WordPress article.

With Indexaro
Use the API only for Google-supported page types, then manage authentication, request history, and quota without conflating notification receipt with index status.
Queue supported JobPosting and livestream URL_UPDATED or URL_DELETED notifications individually or through an integration.
Track API receipt and errors separately from Search Console indexing data so each status has a precise meaning.
Monitor configured Google project quotas and route approved workloads without presenting quota rotation as page-type eligibility.
Teams managing eligible job or livestream properties can centralize request history and quota, while using Search Console for ordinary Google pages and IndexNow for participating engines — see the agency use case and multi-engine SEO indexing software.
What is the Google Indexing API?
The Google Indexing API lets owners of eligible JobPosting pages and livestream pages with BroadcastEvent in a VideoObject notify Google when those URLs are added, updated, or removed. It does not support arbitrary page types.
Is there a limit on API requests?
Yes. Google documents an initial default of 200 publish requests per day per project for onboarding and testing. Eligible production users can request approval and quota; the effective limit appears in the Google Cloud project.
Is Indexaro a Google Indexing API tool for agencies?
Yes, for agencies managing eligible JobPosting or livestream BroadcastEvent pages. Indexaro centralizes approved credentials, request history, and quota without making ordinary client pages eligible.
Does it work for all types of pages?
No. Google documents the Indexing API for pages containing JobPosting structured data or livestream pages containing BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. For ordinary pages, use Search Console, accurate sitemaps, and strong internal discovery.
Do I need a GCP account?
A Google Cloud project, enabled API, approved eligible use, and authorized service account are required for direct Indexing API notifications. Search Console monitoring and public URL health checks are separate workflows.
Does Indexaro guarantee indexing?
No. A successful API response confirms request receipt, not a crawl, index decision, or ranking. Google makes those decisions independently.
