    Hi! I am follow your guideline for instant indexing the posts of our website but there is a problem. After enable api key when creating a new project, I reload api key page and it annouced that “Please check URL parameters and permissions” and “The link you followed was not configured correctly. Required URL parameter apiid is missing. If you are trying to start using an API, you can follow the Getting Started guide for APIs”. It leads to an error “Error 403 Permission denied. Failed to verify the URL ownership” when I use your plugin “Instant Indexing” to index my posts. Thanks!

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the API Key while creating a new project on Google Cloud Platform. It seems like there might be a configuration issue with the API settings or permissions.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:

    1. Check API Key Permissions: Ensure that the API Key you generated has the necessary permissions enabled for the services you are trying to use. You can do this by going to the Google Cloud Console and checking the API & Services section.

    2. Verify URL Ownership: Make sure that the URL you are trying to index is verified in your Google Search Console account. If the ownership is not verified, you will encounter permission issues.

    3. Correct URL Parameters: Double-check that you are using the correct URL parameters when making requests with the API Key. The error message indicates that a required parameter (apiid) is missing, which could be causing the issue.

    4. Follow Getting Started Guide: If you haven’t already, consider following the Getting Started guide for APIs provided by Google to ensure that all necessary steps are completed correctly.

    If you continue to experience issues after checking these points, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to resolve it soon!
