# IndexNow Submitter

A free URL submitter built on the IndexNow protocol: verify your site once with a key file, then push new and updated URLs to Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver in a single call. It also checks the sitemap Google actually reads and gives an honest manual workflow for Brave, whose form cannot legitimately be automated.

## What problem does URL submission solve in 2026?

Publishing a page and having it discovered are different events, and the gap between them is where AI answer engines quietly pass you over. Google retired its public submit endpoint years ago, the tools that abuse its restricted Indexing API sit outside its terms, and Brave has no API at all. Meanwhile the one legitimate protocol, IndexNow, is free, open and underused.

## What does the IndexNow Submitter do?

We first built the whole thing as a local CLI, including Playwright automation for the Brave submit form, and measured what actually works: the IndexNow half was flawless, the Brave half only survived from residential IPs at human volume. So the shipped tool automates what was designed to be automated, reads your sitemap and reports whether its lastmod dates are doing their job for Google, and hands you the Brave form with your URL list instead of pretending a server can press the button for you.
