Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. This endpoint does not state a specific permission in the specification, so give your key the least it needs and check the response rather than assuming.

This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X GET https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/index-monitoring \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…"

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

Both paid indexing allowances, and every target being monitored, in one call. There are **three** indexing positions and only two of them have a row here. A site hosted with us has its whole-site check included free on every plan and appears in no list — that is what makes it free rather than discounted, and it is why `sections.used` can be `0` on an account that is checking fifty sites. A `section` target is a page or path prefix within a site, on top of that free check. An `external_site` target is a whole website hosted somewhere else, billed monthly per site. ⛔ Each allowance is returned with its **denominator** as well as its remainder. A bare "3 remaining" reads identically on an account with an allowance of 3 and nothing used, and on one with an allowance of 100 — and a client that renders only the remainder cannot tell a customer whether buying more would help. ⛔ `indexed` on a target is **three-valued**. `false` means the provider answered and does not list the page; `null` means no reading exists yet, or the row is beyond the current allowance and the sweep is not checking it. A client that renders `null` as `false` reports a customer's pages as deindexed on the morning their card expires. `monitored` is the field that says which of those two a `null` is. Never calls the upstream provider, so it is free to render and poll.
