Is this any different from logging into the Google search console and submitting your sitemap/index request?

Submitting manually takes sooooo long.

So, Google stopped automating indexation because spam, humanity finds new way to resume automation to again propagate spam. It seems Google is trapped in its toxic game of search engine optimization.

This script abuses the Indexing API which is intended for job posting and other specific purposes. https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/qu...

Use at your own risk.

I submitted 1,900 pages in September and it has yet to look at 600. It did 4 this month.

I wish I had been more picky with my sitemap but I thought including all URLs was the goal. I at least properly weighted them but that doesn't seem to do much.

From Indexing API documentation:

> Currently, the Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either `JobPosting` or `BroadcastEvent` embedded in a `VideoObject`.

So this might come with the risk of seeing the site you want to boost rather penalized by Google.

This is not a boost, Index != Ranking
