Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the Instant Indexing API settings in Rank Math SEO. If you are only seeing the "Auto-Submit Post Types" option and not the API settings, it might be due to the plugin version or configuration.
To access the API settings for Instant Indexing in Rank Math, please make sure you have enabled the Advanced Mode of the plugin. You can follow the tutorial provided in this link: Switch from Easy to Advanced Mode.
Once you switch to Advanced Mode, you should be able to see and configure the API settings for Instant Indexing. If you encounter any further issues or need assistance with this process, please let us know by replying to this ticket.
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. We are here to help you.
Warm regards.

Thank you for the reply but im already in advanced mode. I only have these tabs ‘submit url’, ‘settings’ and ‘history’. I am looking for the API settings where I can add my google API keys or is this option only available for premium version?

Hello,
This indicates that you haven’t installed the Google Instant Indexing plugin. The setting page you see is for the IndexNow API which is intended for Bing.
Please make sure you install the plugin first and follow the steps from the guide we shared: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-indexing-api/
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Done installing and now working. I am wondering how to differentiate in index history which search engine did RM send index request to, I want to see logs for both requests sent to google and bing. Thank you.
Hello,
The Google version doesn’t include any logs so any submissions you see on the logs are for the Bing API.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Alright i will just check manually on webmaster tool thanks for the help!
