Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Instant Indexing API options. It seems that to access the settings for Instant Indexing, you need to enable the Advanced Mode of the Rank Math plugin. Once you switch to Advanced Mode, you should be able to see the API options along with the Automatic submission content types.
If you need further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will overtake it and provide more help.
Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use Easy Mode.
You can follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode: https://rankmath.com/kb/advanced-mode/
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Thank you, it has appeared, but I want to know whether the API should be left as it is or should I modify it? Will the pages appear in Google search or do I have to index them from Google Console?
Hello,
We are glad to hear that the API options have appeared for you after switching to Advanced Mode. As for your question about modifying the API settings, it’s generally best to leave the default settings as they are unless you have a specific reason to change them. The Instant Indexing feature is designed to work seamlessly with the default settings to automatically submit your content to search engines like Bing for faster indexing. If you want to use the Google indexing API to get your website’s pages crawled sooner you should refer to this guide: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/
You can also manually request indexing from the Google Search Console for important pages, especially if you want to ensure they are crawled sooner.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
