Google Webmaster Tools API Update

If you use the Google Webmaster Tools API, there is a brand new update.  The update is designed to bring it in line with other Google APIs.

The API, including changes include:

This API allows you to:

  • list, add, or remove sites from your account (you can currently have up to 500 sites in your account)
  • list, add, or remove sitemaps for your websites
  • get warning, error, and indexed counts for individual sitemaps
  • get a time-series of all kinds of crawl errors for your site
  • list crawl error samples for specific types of errors
  • mark individual crawl errors as “fixed” (this doesn’t change how they’re processed, but can help simplify the UI for you)

The Webmaster Tools API is in the Developers section of Google here and includes a quick start guide.

The following two tabs change content below.
