Manual Trigger

Purpose

Notifies search engines (Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, Yep, Amazon) about new or updated URLs for instant indexing.

Architecture

Request Body

{
  "source_url": "https://customer-domain.com",
  "urls": [
    "https://customer-domain.com/new-page/",
    "https://customer-domain.com/updated-page/"
  ]
}

URLs must use source_url (customer’s real domain), NOT ai_site_url. This ensures search engines index the canonical URLs.

Response Format

{
  "status": "success",
  "submitted": 2,
  "accepted": 2,
  "rejected": 0
}

IndexNow Protocol

IndexNow is a protocol that allows websites to notify search engines about URL changes:

Verification - Requires a key file at /search-company.txt
Submission - POST to IndexNow API with URLs
Propagation - Search engines share with each other

Workflow Position

This is Phase 3 of the AI articles workflow:

Phase 1: Generate content (parallel)
Phase 2: Deploy to Vercel (single deployment)
Phase 3: Submit to IndexNow (this endpoint)
