Primarily intended for sites with job postings or livestream structured data.

Google Indexing publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: urlNotifications API and urlNotifications:publish API. Tagged areas include Crawling, Google, Indexing, Search, and SEO.

The Google Indexing catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
