BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) -- you provide your own API credentials.
Before You Start
This actor requires your own API credentials to fetch real data.
Where to get your key: Your IndexNow API key. If not provided, a random key will be generated. You must host this key as a text file at your domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/{key}.txt).
Quick Start

Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |

apiKey | string | - | Yes* | Your IndexNow API key. If not provided, a random key will be generated. You must host this key as a text file at your domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/{key}.txt). |
searchEngine | string | "indexnow" | No | Which search engine endpoint to use. 'indexnow' is the universal endpoint that notifies Bing, Yandex, and Seznam simultaneously. |

Troubleshooting
"API key is required"
- Add your API key in the input
"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"
Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.
"API error 429" or "Rate limit"
Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.
No results or empty dataset
Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:
- Invalid input format (check the examples above)
- API key without proper permissions
- The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track
How do I test without an API key?
Run the actor without credentials, or set demoMode to true. The run returns a labeled sample shaped like real output: every item includes demo: true and a _notice field explaining that it is sample data. Sample runs charge no task events. Provide your own API credentials in the input to receive live data.
