Indexing API returns error 500

    Hi,

    I just installed the indexing API plugin. Configuration was pretty straightforward.

    1. Activated the API.
    2. Created a service account
    3. Authorized the service account in GSC
    4. Uploaded the JSON key to WordPress.

    When testing via the Indexing API Console, itโ€™s throwing an error 500, with a verbose description that Googling suggests might be specific to WordPress. This appears to be true for all kinds of pages, posts, categories, etc. Iโ€™m unable to replicate the HTTP error directly in Chrome.

    }

  • Hi, I got the solution.
    In my case it was NTP clock error. I am using centos 7 server with R date clock module.

    It was not real time sync for clock so google API was not working.

    I changed to NTP service and now its working like charm.

    Thanks
