Indexability Checker API
Why can't Google index this URL? One API call.
Checks meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical and robots.txt in one call and returns whether a URL can be indexed by Google. If not, it names the declared signal that blocks it. Every finding has a stable code, the evidence it was based on and a Google Search Central link. GET /v1/check fetches live; POST /v1/validate works offline on drafts. It reads declared signals only and does not query Google's index.
Hi, I built this for site-audit tools, publishing pipelines and CI checks that need a straight answer to 'can this URL be indexed, and if not, why?'. It follows up to 5 redirects, reads the page and the origin's robots.txt, and follows a canonical one hop. It reports indexable true, false or null (when a 401/403/429/5xx or an unreadable robots.txt makes it undecidable). Limits are stated up front: it sees declared signals only, does not query Google's index, does not render JavaScript and does not guarantee indexing. Feedback welcome.
