Getting Started
Basic Usage and Submit Individual URLs
Firstly, ensure that you have an API key for IndexNow. Hereafter, add your authentication credentials to the IndexNowAuthentication class, which will be used throughout the examples. You can now submit individual URLs to the IndexNow API:
from index_now import submit_url_to_index_now, IndexNowAuthentication
authentication = IndexNowAuthentication(
host="example.com",
api_key="a1b2c3d4",
api_key_location="https://example.com/a1b2c3d4.txt",
)
submit_url_to_index_now(authentication, "https://example.com/page1")
Submit Multiple URLs in Bulk
How to submit multiple URLs in bulk to the IndexNow API:
from index_now import submit_urls_to_index_now, IndexNowAuthentication
authentication = IndexNowAuthentication(...)
urls = ["https://example.com/page1", "https://example.com/page2", "https://example.com/page3"]
submit_urls_to_index_now(authentication, urls)
Submit Entire Sitemap
How to submit an entire sitemap to the IndexNow API:
from index_now import submit_sitemap_to_index_now, IndexNowAuthentication
authentication = IndexNowAuthentication(...)
sitemap_location = "https://example.com/sitemap.xml"
submit_sitemap_to_index_now(authentication, sitemap_location)
Submit to Specific Search Engines
How to use the default SearchEngineEndpoint options or a custom endpoint:
from index_now import submit_url_to_index_now, IndexNowAuthentication, SearchEngineEndpoint
authentication = IndexNowAuthentication(...)
endpoint_bing = SearchEngineEndpoint.BING
endpoint_custom = "https://example.com/indexnow"
for endpoint in [endpoint_bing, endpoint_custom]:
submit_url_to_index_now(authentication, "https://example.com/page1", endpoint)
