Is it possible to get the index status (Index Coverage report in new version) from Google Search Console via the API


So my issue is that I would like to get the index status from Google search console via the API (see picture below):

Index status

I think it's called the Index coverage report in the new Google Search console version. Regardless, is it possible to get this number via the API? I checked their documentation : https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/search-console-api-original/ and the answer seems to be not really.

Wanted to see if anyone has experience with this (ideally in R but hey I'll take anything :) ). I mainly want to know if it is possible, and if so if there is an example / technical documentation on this.

Thanks.


Solution

  • I don't think it is possible via the API, if its not on this list. The only other option you could try would be to scrape the value by using rvest but that is most likely not going to work long term (and check its not against ToS)
