how to verify url indexability efficiently with a simple api check

the problem

ensuring your web pages are properly indexable by search engines can be time-consuming and confusing, especially when dealing with large sites or frequent updates.

the solution

the indexability-checker api provides a straightforward way to verify if a specific url is indexable. it responds with clear data that indicates whether search engines can index your page.

example request:

curl -X GET "https://indexability.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpage"

**example output:**

{
  "url": "https://example.com/page",
  "indexable": true,
  "status": "ok"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

how it works

this api checks the page’s headers, robots meta tags, and sitemaps to determine indexability. it performs a series of server-side checks, returning a simple true or false based on its assessment.

try it out
