Python script to submit URLs to Google via Indexing API
First you will need to set up a project on Google Cloud Platform.
Once you do that, you will need to create a service account. Download the JSON key file from the service account and save it in the same directory as this repository and rename it to key_file.json
To verify the ownership of the website, you will need to add the service account as a delegated owner to the Google Search Console.
- Python 3.*
- argparse (for Python >= 3.2 included in the Python Standard Library)
- Google Client Library
- httplib2
If you already have Python 3.* installed, for the most part, running the following command in the terminal will do:
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
In a nutshell, to use the script:
arguments:
- {i,r} - set if you want to index (i) or remove (r) URLs
- {s,m} - set if you are submitting a single (s) (URL) or multiple (m) URLs (CSV)
- path - URL or path to csv file
Index a single URL
python indx.py i s https://example.com/my-path
Index multiple URLs
python indx.py i m myurllist.csv
Remove a single URL from the index
python indx.py r s https://example.com/my-path
Remove multiple URLs from the index
python indx.py r m myurllist.csv
