Another easy way is to just tweet it, which works for me - they usually get indexed < 1 hour later. Google has access to tweets and the URLs in those tweets.
Paid API access?

Thank you for sharing. Can you quickly explain why keeping an MD5 avoids the abuse issue?

Yes and no. I mean, just because something gets indexed doesn't mean Google values it and is willing to expose its customers to it. The consistent problem with SEO is that most SEOs don't understand Google's business model. They don't understand Google is going to best serve its customers (i.e., those doing the search). SEOs (and their clients) need to understand that getting Google to index a turd isn't going to cha…
SEO died many years ago, but some companies are still trying to sell their naive clients some magical "SEO optimisation". Which is plainly scam at this point.
There are a ton of SEO optimizations that are extremely significant:
* performance/SSR * interlinking/dead links * keyword cannibalization
to name a few

Definitely. In general, most parts of technical SEO remain important (one h1 tag, etc)

Is there a trustworthy guide on this?

#56I recently launched a mini project and was shocked at how difficult and long it took to get any of its pages properly indexed on Google. It's almost as if Google is actively trying -not- to index anything as a way to reduce spam, by forcing the people who really care to jump through 100 hoops. A great way for the dark web remains dark.
It just takes time. Getting people to link to it by sharing it in other channels will help to shorten the timeframe.

#58The annoying thing about this is that it will ruin this feature for everyone else. I, and many others, use this for requesting to index time sensitive content.

Eyeballs are not Google's customers, paying advertisers are Google's customers.
If a paying customer gives Google money to point eyeballs to turds, it points eyeballs to turds (this is how Google makes money today, it is the business model for search). The problem with SEO isn't that it degrades search, it's that SEO users aren't paying customers and don't make Google any money (and compromises Google's ability to direct eyeballs to paying customers).
This is classical "enshitification" - offer a service for free to capture eyeball share, then offer a paid service to companies that capitalizes on that eyeball share but compromises the "eyeball experience" (and then in the endgame, squeeze companies that become dependent upon the eyeball-platform to serve shareholders).

Probably some sort of crawling. When Twitter became shortly logged-in only, google could not display tweets in search anymore.
