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).
You can test with Demo Mode first (free, no key needed) to see the output format before committing.
Quick Start
Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)
{"demoMode": true,"urls": []}
Run with real data
{"demoMode": false,"urls": [],"apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE","searchEngine": "indexnow"}
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
urls | array | - | No | List of URLs to submit to search engines. All URLs must be from the same domain. Maximum 10,000 URLs per run. |
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. |
host | string | - | No | The domain host for URL validation (e.g., www.example.com). If not provided, it will be extracted from the first URL. |
keyLocation | string | - | No | Full URL where your API key file is hosted. If not provided, defaults to https://{host}/{apiKey}.txt |
webhookUrl | string | - | No | URL to receive a POST request with results when the submission completes. Useful for Zapier, Make, or n8n integrations. |
demoMode | boolean | true | No | Run with sample data to test the actor without making real API calls. |
*Required when Demo Mode is off.
Pricing
This actor uses pay-per-event billing:
| Event | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| URL Submitted | Each URL successfully submitted to IndexNow search engines | $0.01 |
Demo mode is free -- no charges for sample data.
Troubleshooting
"API key is required"
You have Demo Mode turned off but didn't provide an API key. Either:
- Turn Demo Mode on to test with sample data
- 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?
Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
