Hi, thank you for your plugin, I use it and its usefull. I had the “instant indexing for google” plugin installed for a time, The send url, and remve url works fine (Succesaful messge), but the ask gets and error 404… I’m rebulding all the config fron zero, and I get the same results… What can I do with this? Thank You This is the bulk message: 13:53:11 getstatus: https://xxx.com/ { “error”: { “code”: 404, “message”: “Requested entity was not found.”, “errors”: [ { “message”: “Requested entity was not found.”, “domain”: “global”, “reason”: “notFound” } ], “status”: “NOT_FOUND” } } 13:53:05 update: https://xxx.com/ { “urlNotificationMetadata”: { “url”: “ https://xxx.com/” ; } } Hello @tlozano , Thank you so much for getting in touch. That error means the URL was still not processed by the Indexing API from Google. It’s important to note that the requirements for that have changed and now the URLs go through rigorous spam detection. Besides that, the guidelines now state that this is exclusive to a particular set of websites, so if your website doesn’t fall under that category or is considered spammy the submission will go through but the API will never parse the URLs. You can check the full guidelines here: https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/quickstart See screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/i/kXGiqf Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
