Updated June 2026
What it means
A Search Console API returning the indexing state, canonical and crawl info for a URL you own.
Why it matters for indexing
It lets tools check real index status at scale instead of inspecting URLs one by one.
How to check it
Query the API for a URL, or use the URL Inspection tool manually in Search Console.
How FastIndexing helps
We use index-status signals to monitor your URLs and trigger re-submission when needed.
