XF 2.2 Is there any way for me to use google index api?

probably post in the custom development request forum.


because this is not a native feature of xenforo. this is not even a feature aimed at forums though i suppose if you use your forum for job postings, it might have a valid case. though people have used this feature with regular blog posts to get instant inclusion in google search results. google might notice the abuse of the system and might penalize these kind of sites.

so an addon could probably make use of this on posting of a new thread i imagine.

Do you mean that if an addon uses this feature, there is a risk of being penalized right?
Oh, thank you so much you make me think again
 
i am just stating that every feature that google launches, tends to get abused which results in some kind of a reaction by google.

google states that this feature is currently aimed at specific kinds of publications where instant indexing is required:

Currently, the Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. For websites with many short-lived pages like job postings or livestream videos, the Indexing API keeps content fresh in search results because it allows updates to be pushed individually.

but they also say: The Indexing API allows any site owner to directly notify Google when pages are added or removed.

it is definitely being used by people operating regular websites. there are guides available online on how to use this on wordpress. google might ignore api usage by sites that are not in compliance with the program. i imagine there is no harm in trying if you can get a developer to code an addon for this.
