I would like to test Google Indexing API with Postman. I have already configured the api correctly on https://console.cloud.google.com/ for using it on a wordpress site with the plugin Instant indexing and everything works ok. Now I simply want to do a POST call with Postman, in particular I did not found anything clear about the type of authentication (Oauth 2) to use for the call.
{
"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED",
"details": [
{
"@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",
"reason": "CREDENTIALS_MISSING",
"domain": "googleapis.com",
"metadata": {
"method": "google.indexing.v3.UrlService.PublishUrlNotification",
"service": "indexing.googleapis.com"
}
}
]
}
}
Anyone can provide me an example? Thank you.
For anyone interested I managed to make it work by following these steps:
To obtain the authentication token with Postman first go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials and in your web application ID client set https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback as Authorized redirect URIs
Now in Postman Application in Authorization tab select OAuth 2.0 and configure the fields according to your client_secret.json (image)
Now click on 'Get new access Token' and you should get it
Specify the url and type as raw json body (image)
