I am trying to make a POST request for Indexnow protocol, which allows the user to send link massive to search engine (BING) for instant indexing. As I read all documentation, I found that this protocol suggests such JSON request construction:
POST /indexnow HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: <searchengine>
{
"host": "www.example.com",
"key": "265f7fb3bd6c41118f6bf05568d9c825",
"urlList": [
"https://www.example.com/url1",
"https://www.example.com/folder/url2",
"https://www.example.com/url3"
]
}
I chose to use Python, and here is my code for this POST request:
import advertools as adv
import pandas as pd
import requests
import json
import time
def submit_url_set(set_:list, key, location, host="https://www.bing.com", headers={"Content-type":"application/json", "charset":"utf-8"}):
key = "91ca7c564b334f38b0b1ed90eec8g8b2"
data = {
"host": "www.bing.com",
"key": key,
"keyLocation": "https://uchet.kz/91ca7c564b334f38b0b1ed90eec8g8b2.txt",
"urlList": [
'https://uchet.kz/news/formirovanie-obshchestva-chistogo-ot-korruptsii-dobivaetsya-tokaev/',
'https://uchet.kz/news/pravila-polucheniya-iin-inostrantsu-v-rk-izmeneny/',
'https://uchet.kz/news/zabolevaemost-koronavirusom-sredi-shkolnikov-vyrosla-v-13-raza/',
'https://uchet.kz/news/izmeneny-pravila-provedeniya-tamozhennoy-ekspertizy/'
]
}
r = requests.post(host, data=data, headers=headers)
return r.status_code
After script runs, nothing returns.
I expected the script to return server response code HTTP-code 200 OK
What was I really expected
Getting the server response code for each indexing url.

Go to the Post Requests Online
Type your search engine URL
Put your code in the window below in this format:
Press SEND.
Done

I am the author of the code.
IndexNow API doesn’t return a response, if you don’t take an error message it means that the request has been taken.
You can check your log files to validate that.
Also, https://www.searchenginejournal.com/indexnow-api-python/429726/ in the article, this is stated.
