Google API quota calculator
Google's indexing APIs have hard daily quotas. Enter your volume to see whether you fit inside the defaults, and, if not, how many Cloud projects or service accounts a do-it-yourself setup would need.
Past the 200/day default you must either request a quota increase or split submissions across 3 Cloud projects / service accounts — each added as an Owner in Search Console.
You fit inside one property's daily quota.
IndexerNow runs on your own Google Cloud project and quota — never a shared pool — so these same limits apply, but you skip the multi-project plumbing. The free tier covers 15 index pushes and 20 status checks a day; a $2.99 / 50-credit pack or Power ($29/mo) automation handles bigger runs. Work out the exact spend with the credit calculator.
The limits, in plain numbers
- Indexing API: 200 publish requests/day per Google Cloud project (the default; you can request more).
- URL Inspection API: 2,000 queries/day and 600/minute per Search Console property.
- Search Analytics API: 1,200 queries/minute, no fixed daily cap.
Hitting these returns a quota-exceeded error, see the fix for how to request an increase or shard across projects. To turn a URL count into a dollar figure on IndexerNow, use the credit calculator.
