Add the Google Indexing and Search Console API

Now that you have a new (or already used) Google Cloud project, it's time to add the right APIs to unleash your full indexing potential.

Let's first look on how to find the API library in Google Cloud.

Find the API library in the menu

Click on the burger menu in the top left and select APIs & Services > Library (as shown above).

Find the API library by using the search bar

Another way to find the API Library or a desired API is to directly use the top search bar.

Enable the Indexing API

Now that you're on the Google Cloud API Library, search for "Indexing API" and select the top result.

Once you're on the Google Indexing API page, click on the "Enable" blue button.

Enable the Search Console API

As for the Indexing API, head over to the API Library and search for "Google Search Console API". When on the page, click on the "Enable" blue button.

Congrats, you've now access to the Search Console and Indexing APIs! 🎉
