I´m using this guide to create a Python program to index URLs from my web pages. I have tested the Python example which the guide provides
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
import httplib2
SCOPES = [ "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/indexing" ]
ENDPOINT = "https://indexing.googleapis.com/v3/urlNotifications:publish"
# service_account_file.json is the private key that you created for your service account.
JSON_KEY_FILE = "service_account_file.json"
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(JSON_KEY_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
# Define contents here as a JSON string.
# This example shows a simple update request.
# Other types of requests are described in the next step.
content = """{
\"url\": \"https://www.generawork.tk/planillas-de-luz-ecuador-2020/",
\"type\": \"URL_UPDATED\"
}"""
response, content = http.request(ENDPOINT, method="POST", body=content)
The output is this:
b'{\n "urlNotificationMetadata": {\n "url": "https://www.generawork.tk/planillas-de-luz-ecuador-2020/",\n "latestUpdate": {\n "url": "https://www.generawork.tk/planillas-de-luz-ecuador-2020/",\n "type": "URL_UPDATED",\n "notifyTime": "2020-09-03T19:49:05.614934282Z"\n }\n }\n}\n'
I have waited for the URL to be indexed, but nothing has happened, this leads me to think that using this API, URLs can only be updated or deleted
Can a URL be indexed for the first time using this API? Then. How to do it?
