Google Indexing API Automator provides a convenient UI to Google Indexing API. Giia is an open source application based on Node.js + MongoDB; it could be used locally or it could be installed on a server.
- It allows you to easily interface with the Google Indexing API and stores all the requests made.
- It allows you to manage multiple GSC/Api account properties simultaneously and request batch indexing.
- Automates the authorization token request process.
It allows you to optimize the limit of daily requests, with preventive checks, such as:
- requested url domain not configured in GSC.
- url for a URL_UPDATED request that returns a 404/410.
- url for a URL_REMOVED request that returns a 200.
- wrong url.
- redirects following.
- storing the notification time of the request makes the urlNotifications requests redundant.
