The Indexing API provides the following default quota for initial API onboarding and testing submissions.
Default quota
DefaultPublishRequestsPerDayPerProject
The default daily per project quota for how many publish requests that you
can send to the publish endpoint. This includes both URL_UPDATED
and URL_DELETED request types. The default value is set to 200. The daily quota
resets at midnight Pacific Time, which means new quota can take up to 24 hours to become
effective.
DefaultMetadataRequestsPerMinutePerProject
The default per minute per project quota for how many Read Only requests that you can send
to the getMetadata endpoint. The default value is set to 180.
DefaultRequestsPerMinutePerProject
The default per minute per project quota for all endpoints. The default value is set to
380.
The Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with
either JobPosting or
BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject.
To request quota beyond the initial default quota and gain approval to use the API for pages with
JobPosting or BroadcastEvent markup, fill out this form.
You'll need to know the details of your project in the Google Cloud console. The quota may increase
or decrease based on the document quality.
Pricing
All use of the Indexing API is available without payment.
