# IndexNow

> Submit URLs to IndexNow so search engines re-crawl your changed pages faster.

Submit one or more URLs to **IndexNow** to notify participating search engines that pages have been added, updated, or removed — prompting a faster re-crawl.

<Note>
  IndexNow is an open protocol that pings participating search engines (Microsoft Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam.cz, and others) from a single submission. It does not guarantee ranking changes — it only tells engines your URLs are worth re-crawling. The brand must have IndexNow connected and verified first, and every submitted URL must belong to the verified host.
</Note>

**Request body**

* `urls` — required, non-empty array of absolute URLs (each must be on the brand's verified host). Maximum **10,000** URLs per submission.

**Response** — on success returns the IndexNow result: `ok` (boolean), `status` (the HTTP status from the IndexNow API, e.g. `200` submitted or `202` accepted/validation pending), and `message`. A `400` is returned when `urls` is missing/empty or exceeds the limit, and errors from IndexNow (e.g. `403` key not valid, `422` host/key mismatch) are surfaced with their status and message.

Both routes are team-scoped and require an active plan and team membership.

## Verify IndexNow

`POST /v3/integrations/indexnow/verify`

Verifies the brand's IndexNow setup by fetching the key file hosted on the verified domain and confirming its contents match the stored key. On success the integration is marked active and the route returns `{ "success": true }`; a failed check returns `400` with a `message` explaining the mismatch (for example, the key file was not found or its contents differ from the expected key). Call this once after connecting, before submitting URLs.
