Inspect how Google indexes a URL
seo_indexation.urls.inspect
Inspects one page of a Search Console property connected to the organization with Google's URL Inspection API, live: verdict (PASS, PARTIAL, NEUTRAL, FAIL), coverage_state (e.g. 'Submitted and indexed', 'Crawled - currently not indexed'), robots_txt_state, indexing_state, page_fetch_state, last_crawl_time, google_canonical vs user_canonical, crawled_as, referring_urls, and the mobile and rich results verdicts when Google returns them. Nothing is stored. inspection_url must belong to site_url (same protocol and host, under its path; a domain property covers any protocol and subdomain). Google allows 600 inspections per minute and 2,000 per day per property: inspect a few key URLs, not a whole site. Errors: 404 external_account_not_linked and 400 url_not_in_property (Google is not called), 409 external_rejected, 409 integration_not_connected, 409 integration_reconnect_required, 429 external_rate_limited, 503 external_unavailable. Requires view access to Indexation.

With a test API key the request always goes to your practice organization: example data you can reset. In the practice organization this operation is not simulated (it reaches another platform): it answers 409 sandbox_external_unavailable.
