submit-urls

The submit_urls.py Python script refers to the sitemap and submits the URLs of newer entries than the last submission through the Indexing API and the Bing Webmaster API.

Prerequisites

submit_urls.py has been tested for Blogger on Debian Testing on WSL 2 and requires the following packages:

• google-api-python-client to access Google APIs
• pandas to extract updated URLs from the sitemap
• python-gnupg to invoke GnuPG for decrypting your encrypted JSON key file and API key file for authorization
• xmltodict to convert the sitemap to a dictionary

Install each package as needed. For example:

sudo apt install gpg
python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt -U

Usage

submit_urls.py will create a ~/.config/submit-urls/submit_urls.ini configuration file if it does not already exist.

First, prepare your JSON key file for the Indexing API and API key file for the Bing Webmaster API, and encrypt them using GnuPG with your OpenPGP key pair. Next, replace the values of the following options in the configuration file with your own:

• sitemap_url
• json_key_path
• api_key_path

Then, execute:

submit_urls.py

Options

• -n: do not perform POST requests
• -B [OUTPUT_DIRECTORY]: generate a Bash script to launch this script and exit
