Q: Googl API rules?
Reposting this question I saw on another similar tool, pleas help us understand:
google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/quickstart "Currently, the Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject". Since Google says it "can only be used" for these two things, would this be violating their terms if using for anything else? RankMath has an instant indexer using Google's API and they say "Proceed with Caution" if you use the API to index anything other than those 2 things. And Rank Math says if using their Instant Indexer through the Google API "we do not recommend using it on money websites. Please proceed at your own risk." What is the risk of using the Google API for instant indexing? Would you say we need to "Proceed with Caution"

Sep 12, 2024A: Hi! Google indexing API was initially built only for frequently updating sites like Job sites but it got expanded to work for all sites which follow their content guidelines. So as long your site does not violate Google's content policy (which restricts sites like for gambling, hate speech, duplicate scraped content etc) then it will work. We have content policies in place as well which will restrict indexing form WarpIndex itself since we need to follow Google's API guidelines as well.
107338471925814401237The latest September update for google indexing api , have specific that now API will only work on websites which have jobposting schema or broadcast schema.. and won't accept request from other websites. And i tried it and it doesn't work on other websites now. If your tool does use indexing api then it won't work now. Please let me know if your app does use api or not. Because i plan to buy it.
