"Inspect https://www.example.com/my-page and explain whether Google considers it indexed."

"Compare the Google-selected canonical and user-declared canonical for this URL."

"Does this page have any rich result, mobile usability, or AMP issues?"


Scope and Quotas

inspect_url checks Google's indexed information for one URL supplied by the caller.

It does not:

  • test the live version of the page
  • request indexing
  • enumerate every indexed or excluded URL for a property
  • reproduce the bulk Page Indexing report from the Search Console UI

Google applies per-site and per-project request quotas to URL Inspection. See the official Search Console API usage limits for current quota details.

Index status reflects Google's stored information and can lag behind changes to the live page.
