• Hi, I get an error when I try to check the “Google: Get URL status,” and I get the following error:

    getstatus https://search…….com/
    Error 404 Requested entity was not found.

    Raw:

    8:50:36 PM getstatus: https://searc…….com/
    {
    “error”: {
    “code”: 404,
    “message”: “Requested entity was not found.”,
    “errors”: [
    {
    “message”: “Requested entity was not found.”,
    “domain”: “global”,
    “reason”: “notFound”
    }
    ],
    “status”: “NOT_FOUND”
    } }

    I have been tested on the homepage, and I know it’s indexed, and on many other URLs, and I always get a 404 status. Why? Please help. I have the latest plugin from ww.wp.xz.cn.

  • Hello @millierendon150,
     
    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
     
    If you are getting the 404 error it means that the URLs are not in the Indexing API. Since the API is only for two types of websites (job posting and live streams) and goes through rigorous spam detection due to recent changes in Google, it’s much more difficult to get URLs into the API.
     
    So, unless you have one of the website types we mentioned and the content is unique, you won’t be able to use this feature consistently and you shouldn’t as the API was never intended for it as mentioned in our own documentation.
     
    The bottom line is that our submissions to the API are working fine, but if the pages are not accepted into it because of guidelines issues, there’s nothing we can do.
     
    The Instant Indexing plugin was put through rigorous testing and we can see the submissions are working, but we cannot force Google to accept them as mentioned multiple times before.
     
    Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
