Indexing API QuickstartThe Indexing API allows site owners to directly notify Google when their job posting or livestreaming video pages are added or removed. This allows Google to schedule pages for a fresh crawl, which can lead to higher quality user traffic. The Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting
or BroadcastEvent
embedded in a VideoObject
