How is the interface address of the Baidu Submit API constructed?

As an experienced security CMS website operator, I know the importance of search engine inclusion for website traffic and visibility.Bing search engine is the second largest search engine in the world, and its indexing status is equally important for our content promotion.AnQi CMS provides us with a convenient interface to timely push new content to Baidu, accelerating its inclusion.Below, I will introduce how the interface address of the Baidu Submit API is constructed, as well as how to configure it in the Anqi CMS.

Detailed explanation of the interface address formation of Baidu Submit API

AnQi CMS integrates two types of Bing content submission methods: the traditional "Submit API" and the emerging "IndexNow API".These two methods have their own interface address construction methods, and we will configure it in the system background under "Function Management" -> "Link Push".

Method one: Use the traditional "submit API" interface address

This method depends on the API key you obtain from the Bing website management tools.The structure of the interface address is relatively simple, it combines a fixed base URL with your unique API key.

First, you need to visit the Bing Webmaster Tools website and log in to your account.If your website has not been added yet, please follow the instructions to add and verify your website.

Next, in the Bing website management tool interface, find the gear icon (settings button) in the upper right corner.Click this icon and you will be able to find and copy your API key.

After obtaining the API key, combine it with the basic submission URL provided by Bing. The basic submission URL ishttps://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=.

For example, if your API key isaab11afb058b4aaea628b99849cdcc4dThe complete Bing submission API interface address will be as follows:https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=aab11afb058b4aaea628b99849cdcc4d

Please ensure that there are no extra spaces between the API key and the base URL when concatenating.Paste this complete URL in the input box for the Bing search active push interface address on the 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' page of the AnQi CMS backend.

Method two: use the emerging "IndexNow API" interface address

The IndexNow API is a way that Bing has launched to provide a more immediate and efficient way to notify search engine content updates.It requires your website to be verified through an API Key file.

The first step is to generate an IndexNow API Key. You need to visit the official page of Bing IndexNow.https://www.bing.com/indexnow. On this page, the system will generate an API Key for you.

The second step is website verification. You need to create a verification file based on the generated API Key. The specific operation is, on your website'spublicCreate a file named{API Key}.txtThe text file, and write your API Key content into this file. For example, if your API Key isd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a, you will need topublicCreate in the directoryd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a.txtWrite a file and write in itd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227aMake sure the file can pass你的域名/{API Key}.txtAccessed.

The third step is to build the IndexNow API interface address. Combine your API Key with the base URL of IndexNow.https://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=.

For example, if your API Key is stilld2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227athen the complete IndexNow API interface address will be as follows:https://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=d2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a

Similarly, paste this built URL into the input box of the Baidu search proactive push interface address on the "Function Management" -> "Link Push" page of the Anqi CMS backend.

After configuring the interface address in one of the two ways mentioned above, Anqi CMS can automatically push the content we publish or update to Bing search engine, thereby effectively improving the inclusion efficiency of website content and its visibility in search results.
