How to configure Baidu and Bing API interfaces for link push function to improve page inclusion efficiency?

In content operation, it is a key link to enhance website traffic and visibility by allowing search engines to quickly discover and index our pages.Manually submitting links is inefficient and prone to omission. Fortunately, AnQiCMS provides a convenient link push feature that can automatically submit new or updated pages to major search engines like Baidu and Bing, thereby significantly improving the page inclusion efficiency.

Why is link push crucial for SEO?

Imagine, a search engine is like an tireless 'spider', crawling the internet, discovering new content.But the Internet is vast and deep, they can't know every update on our website in real time.It is particularly important to actively push link sharing at this time.Directly submit the new page URL to the search engine via the API, we are "notifying" them: "Hey, there's new content, come and crawl!

This proactive approach can make our page faster to be discovered by search engines, shortening the time from publication to indexing.For time-sensitive content, or in industries with intense competition, faster indexing means an earlier opportunity for exposure, winning valuable traffic for the website.AnQiCMS built-in link push function, which is exactly for this, it simplifies the complex API call process into several simple configuration steps, allowing users with no technical background to easily get started.

Configure Baidu Search Push API Interface

To主动推送网站页面到百度搜索，你需要拥有一个百度搜索资源平台（ziyuan.baidu.com）账号，并且已经添加了你的网站。

First, please log in to your Baidu Search Resource Platform. In the left menu, find the 'Normal Inclusion' option under 'API Submission'.After entering this page, you will see an "API call address" that contains your site URL and a dedicated Token.This address is the push interface address required by the AnQiCMS background.Please copy the address in full.

Next, log in to the AnQiCMS backend. In the left navigation bar, find 'Function Management' and click 'Link Push' to enter the settings page.In the input box of the "Baidu Search Active Push Interface", paste the interface call address you just copied from the Baidu Search Resource Platform.

After pasting, remember to click the save button. This way, every time you publish a new document or update an existing document in AnQiCMS, the system will automatically submit the links of these pages to Baidu through the API, without manual operation.

Configure Bing Search Engine Push API Interface

The way to obtain the active push interface of Bing search engine is different from Baidu, but AnQiCMS also provides support.Bing provides two main push methods: the traditional "Submit API" and the emerging "IndexNow API", both of which can be configured in AnQiCMS.

Method one: Use the "Submit API" method

1. You need to visit Bing Webmaster Tool (www.bing.com/webmasters/) and log in to your account.If the website has not been added yet, please add and verify it according to the prompts.
2. After logging in, click the gear icon at the top right to access the "Settings" page. Here, you will find the "API Key" option, copy your API key.
3. Now, you need to concatenate the copied API key with the Bing interface address. The base address of the interface ishttps://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=. Paste your API key directly inapikey=Afterward, form a complete URL, for example:https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=你的API密钥Make sure there are no extra spaces in the link.
4. Paste this complete URL in the input box of the "Link Push" page under "Function Management" in the AnQiCMS background.

Method two: Use the "IndexNow API" method

1. First, you need to go to the official IndexNow page (www.bing.com/indexnow) where you will generate an API Key.
2. After generating the API Key, you need to access your website onpublicCreate a file named{API Key}.txtPlease save the file, and write the API Key you generate into this txt file. For example, if your API Key isd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227aIf it exists, create a file namedd2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a.txtfile and placed2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227aThis string is written in it, then uploaded to the AnQiCMS websitepublicdirectory.
3. Then, combine the API Key with the base interface address of IndexNowhttps://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=and form ithttps://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=你的API密钥Such a complete URL.
4. Paste this URL into the input box of the 'Link Push' page under the 'Function Management' in AnQiCMS backend.

No matter which way you choose, after the configuration is completed, you still need to click the save button. AnQiCMS will automatically push the link to Bing for you.

JS automatic submission for other search engines

For search engines like 360 Search, Toutiao Search, etc., which currently do not provide an active push API interface, AnQiCMS also reserves a position for automatic submission with JS.You can get the corresponding JS push code on the site master platform of these search engines.Generally, this code needs to be placed on the website page.<head>Tag inside.

You have obtained the complete JS code (including<script>and</script>After labeling, paste it into the input box of the 'Link Push' page under the 'Function Management' section in the AnQiCMS backend.The system will automatically embed these JS codes into your website page when generating the page.

It should be noted that this JS code is usually triggered by user access to submit, rather than in real-time notifications like API pushes, which is slightly different in effect. If you need to manually control the output position of this JS code in your website template, you can do something like{{- pluginJsCode|safe }}Call this tag to ensure that the code can be loaded and executed correctly.

Verify if the link push is successful

After completing all the above configurations, of course, we should verify whether the link push function works normally.

The most direct test method is to publish a new document or update an existing document in the AnQiCMS backend.After the operation is completed, go back to the "Link Push" page under "Function Management" and click "View Recent Push Records".

• Baidu push:If you see the push record containing the word “success”, it usually means that the push was successful.However, there may be a certain delay in the data feedback of Baidu Search Resource Platform, and it may take until the next day to see the submission records in the background "API Submission" statistics.
• Bing push:If you see the result includes{"d":null}This is usually the success indicator returned by the Bing interface. The data feedback of Bing link submission is relatively real-time, and you can view the submitted links quickly in the "URL Submission" feature of Bing Webmaster Tools.

If the push record shows a failure, please carefully check if the API key or interface address is entered correctly, whether the website has been verified through the search engine platform, and ensure that the network connection is normal.

By using the AnQiCMS link push feature, we can more efficiently manage the search engine inclusion of website content, allowing high-quality content to reach the target audience faster, bringing sustained traffic growth to the website.
