Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the API key and saving your keyword changes in Rank Math. It seems like you need to set up the API key for the Instant Indexing feature. Here’s how you can do that:
-
Access the Instant Indexing Settings: Go to your WordPress admin area and navigate to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing → Settings.
-
Add the API Key: If you are using the Bing URL Submission API, you will need to obtain the API key from your Bing Webmaster Tools account. Here’s how:
- Log in to your Bing Webmaster Tools account.
- Navigate to Settings → API Access → API Key and copy the API key.
- Return to your WordPress admin area and paste the API key into the appropriate field in the Rank Math settings.
- Don’t forget to click Save Changes after adding the key.
-
Check for Errors: If you continue to see errors, ensure that the API key is correctly copied without any extra spaces or characters.
-
Regenerate if Necessary: If you suspect that the API key might be invalid, you can regenerate it in Bing Webmaster Tools and update it in Rank Math as described above.
For further assistance with your settings, we recommend checking out our Complete Rank Math Tutorial which provides a step-by-step guide on setting up the plugin properly.
If you would like a more comprehensive setup or if issues persist, consider our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services. This service requires a PRO subscription and ensures that your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.

How to Setup Rank Math SEO Plugin Properly
I dont think I have a Bing account.
Actually, my issue is my keywords aren’t saving. I get this error message: Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.
I have looked through your forum and guide and tried most of the things, as well as contacted my hosting and I still can’t find the problem.
Even when I do not get the error, the key word changes do not save.
Does this info from the console help? What can I do about this? Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 () /wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMetaBulk:1
how do I get my firewall to not block it? EXPVH24. HTTP/3.0 403 forbidden.
i ended up fixing it myself despite hours and days with godaddy. console told me error, added to firewall allowed urls. i still need you to remove my website from this public chat though please!
