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.

The only possible outcome if for them to shutdown this API or make it work as documented. There's already at least 10+ SaaS offering this as service.

Eh, you can get google to index your site by just submitting a site map, it just takes a little longer.

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

Either way, this is clearly abusing the API by using it for things that it wasn't intended for.

The only outcome I can see from this is a) contributing to the rise of spam and b) harming people managing sites and apps for which this API is vital.

Google no longer finds new sites automatically? That might explain why it's been so trash the past few years.

I remember running a few websites back in the day, and with zero interaction with google all of the pages showed up in the search index a day or two after publishing at most.

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

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.

Same here.
