Overview
About This Skill
IndexNow is a Bash script that automates URL submission to major search engines including Microsoft Bing, Yandex, Yahoo, Naver, and Seznam through the IndexNow API. It supports four submission methods: single URL submission, bulk URLs from a file, URL extraction from XML sitemaps, and URL discovery from web pages. The script simplifies search engine indexing workflows by eliminating manual submissions and enabling batch processing of URLs. SEO professionals and website administrators benefit from faster index updates and reduced manual effort when notifying search engines of new or updated content.
How to Use
Clone the repository and edit config/settings.env with your domain, IndexNow API key, and key location. Upload your API key verification file to your domain root. Run the script with bash scripts/indexnow.sh followed by flags: -u for single URL, -f for bulk file, -s for sitemap, or -p for web page URLs.
Use Cases
Submit newly published blog posts to search engines immediately after publication
Bulk update search engines with hundreds of URLs from a file
Automatically notify search engines of all pages listed in your XML sitemap
Discover and submit URLs found on a specific web page to IndexNow
