Can't fix Google? Index your website on Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, and other alternative search engines.

Google doesn't like you any more? While you are trying to fix the mess, make sure you make the most out of all the other search engines!

Instant, low-config indexing script that submits the URLs in your sitemaps to Bing (and thereby DuckDuckGo), Naver, Seznam.cz, Yandex, and Yep for indexing.

1. Quickstart

1.1 Install

$ git clone https://github.com/mxmzb/indexnow-indexing-script
$ cd ./indexnow-indexing-script
$ yarn
# OR
$ npm install

1.2 Configure

1. Head over to https://api-keygen.com/ and generate any key (I personally prefer 32 character hex).
2. Create a file named example.com/[your-generated-api-key].txt for the domain that you want to index. In the file should, again, be the API key, and only the generated API key
3. Rename ./config/example.yaml to [your-project-identifier].yaml and change the values inside based on the explanations in comments

Note: It does not matter at all how you name the .yaml config file in step 3. It can be entirely arbitrary (I like to use the domain name without the domain ending). The project identifier is exclusively for you to know what site the config belongs to.

1.3 Run

$ yarn index
# OR
$ npm run index
