Utilities for automatically submitting website pages for indexing in bulk to Google Search Console

Google Bulk Indexer

Python script for automatically submitting website pages for indexing in bulk to Google Search Console(GSC). This is a Python version of the original work in google-indexing-script

Functionality

This script submits the website URLs found on a site that you own to GSC for indexing. There is no guarantee that the page requested for indexing will be indexed by Google.

Requirements

1. Python >= 3.9
2. A Google Cloud account: You will have to create a service account under a Google cloud project and download the private key JSON file.
3. GSC account with a verified site (property).

Before you run the script

Follow the guide by Google Cloud to setup Google Cloud account and service account. You should have the following by the end:

• A google cloud account with a project that has both Google Search Console API and Web Search Indexing API enabled.
• A service account and a private key json file downloaded on your PC.
• The service account email added to your property (site) as Site owner.

Running the script

1. Clone this repository on your local PC which has Python installation.
2. Install the required packages by running the below command

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Copy the private key file that you downloaded from the Google cloud account in the same folder. Private key is needed for submitting URLs to Google Search Console for indexing.
4. Run the following command to start submitting URLs for indexing
   • If you have verified your site as a Domain property in GSC run the following command

   python ./main.py -p <your-domain.xyz>
   

   • If you have verified your site as a URL Prefix property, run the below command

   python ./main.py -p https://<your-domain.xyz>
   

If you have the private key json file somewhere else on your PC, you can specify the path while running the script

python ./main.py -c <path to private key file> -p <site domain>

Run the script with --help to know about command line options.
