IndexNow NodeJS Wrapper

NodeJS Wrapper for the IndexNow API.

Requeriments

• Node installed with version >=14.16.0
• IndexNow API created and sumitted to your site. Check the IndexNow API implementation guide here

Configuration

Go to src/config/indexNowConfig.js, you'll find the configuration for the IndexNow API:

You just need to replace the following values inside the payload:

• host: The host of the website you want to index.
• key: The API key of the website you want to index.
• keyLocation: The location of the API key of the website you want to index.
• urlList: The list of URLs you want to index.

  payload: {
    host: 'https://www.example.com', //Replace with your own domain
    key: '<apiKey>', // Replace with your own API key
    keyLocation: 'https://www.example.com/apiKey.txt', //Replace with your own API key location
    urlList: [ // Replace with your own URL list
      'https://www.example.org/url1',
      'https://www.example.org/folder/url2',
      'https://www.example.org/url3'
    ]
  }

Quickstart

When you have the configuration, you can execute the script with the following command:

yarn indexURLs

The terminal output would be the following:

  Error in submitting 1 URLs to https://yandex.com
  Possible reason: 422 - In case of URLs don’t belong to the host or the key is not matching the schema in the protocol
  1 URLs Submitted succesfully to https://www.bing.com

In this case we submitted 1 URL to Bing but not in Yandex because of an specific error (just for the sake of the example).
