Google Web Indexing Automation API with Docker

Warning: This automation is recommended for sites with 5000+ sitemap links. Long-term use of the indexing API may be harmful, as Google bots may interpret manual indexing as unnecessary, potentially reducing the frequency of reindexing. Typically, Google Search Console indexes around 100 pages daily.

Info: The daily limit for reindexing is 200 pages according to Google's restrictions.

Description:

This application is designed for automatic Google web page indexing using Docker. While similar services exist, they are often not free. This app aims to simplify the indexing process for those with basic programming knowledge.
