As an experienced CMS website operation personnel for an information security company, I am well aware of the importance of search engine inclusion for website traffic and visibility.Bing as the world's second largest search engine, the indexing status is also crucial for our content promotion.AnQi CMS provides a convenient interface to timely push new content to Bing and accelerate indexing.Below, I will introduce how the interface address of the Bing Submit API is constructed, as well as how to configure it in the Anqi CMS.
Bing Submit API interface address composition details
The Anqi CMS integrates two Bing content submission methods: the traditional 'Submit API' and the emerging 'IndexNow API'.These two methods have their own interface address composition methods, which will be configured in the 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' in the system background.
Method one: Using the traditional 'Submit API' interface address
This method depends on the API key you obtain from the Bing website management tools.The composition of the interface address is relatively simple, it combines a fixed base URL with your unique API key.
Next, on the Bing website admin tools interface, find the gear icon (settings button) in the upper right corner.Click the icon and you will be able to find and copy your API key.
Combine the API key you obtain with the base submission URL provided by Bing. The base submission URL ishttps://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=.
For example, if your API key isaab11afb058b4aaea628b99849cdcc4dThen, the complete Bing submission API interface address will be as follows:https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=aab11afb058b4aaea628b99849cdcc4d
Please ensure there are no extra spaces between the API key and the base URL when concatenating.Paste this complete URL into the Bing search proactive push interface address input box on the 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' page of the Anqi CMS backend.
Method two: Use the emerging 'IndexNow API' interface address
IndexNow API is a more immediate and efficient way of notifying search engine content updates that Bing has launched.It requires your website to be verified through an API Key file.
The first step is to generate the IndexNow API Key. You need to visit the official page of Bing IndexNowhttps://www.bing.com/indexnowOn 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'spublicin the directory{API Key}.txtThe text file, and write your API Key content into this file. For example, if your API Key isd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227ayou will need topublicdirectory created2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a.txtFile, and write in itd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227aEnsure the file can be你的域名/{API Key}.txtaccessed.
The third step is to construct the IndexNow API interface address. Combine your API Key with the base URL of IndexNowhttps://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 constructed URL into the Bing search active push interface address input box on the 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' page of the Anqi CMS backend.
After configuring the interface address through one of the above two methods, 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.
Common Questions and Answers (FAQ)
1. Should I choose 'Submit API' or 'IndexNow API' to configure Bing Push?Both methods can effectively push content to Bing.The IndexNow API is often considered a more modern and more immediate push method, allowing for more frequent content update notifications.If your website content is updated frequently, or you wish to be discovered by search engines more quickly, the IndexNow API is a good choice.If the IndexNow verification process encounters difficulties, the traditional submit API is also a reliable alternative.
2. How to confirm whether the Bing push interface address is configured correctly after setting it up?After the configuration of the page 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' in the AnQi CMS backend is completed, you can try to publish a new document.Then go back to the "Link Push" page and click "View Recent Push Records{"d":null}or other successful responses.In addition, you can log in to the Bing website administrator tools, view the list of submitted links in the 'URL Submission' or 'IndexNow' report, and these data are typically real-time feedbacks, which can help you confirm if the push is successful.
What should I do if my Bing API key or IndexNow Key changes?If your Bing API key or IndexNow Key changes on the Bing website management tool, you need to update the Bing search proactive push interface address on the 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' page of the AnQi CMS backend in a timely manner. For the IndexNow API, if the Key changes, you also need to synchronize the update to your websitepublicthe directory.{API Key}.txtVerify the file, ensuring that the filename and file content match the new Key.
