An update to the Webmaster Tools API Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:17 AM PDT Webmaster level: advanced Over the summer the Webmaster Tools team has been cooking up an update to the Webmaster Tools API. The new API is consistent with other Google APIs, makes it easier to authenticate for apps or web-services, and provides access to some of the main features of Webmaster Tools. If you've used other Google APIs, getting started with the new Webmaster Tools API will be easy! We have examples for Python, Java, as well as OACurl (for fans of command lines). This API allows you to: list, add, or remove sites from your account (you can currently have up to 500 sites in your account) list, add, or remove sitemaps for your websites get warning, error, and indexed counts for individual sitemaps get a time-series of all kinds of crawl errors for your site list crawl error samples for specific types of errors mark individual crawl errors as "fixed" (this doesn't change how they're processed, but can help simplify the UI for you) We'd love to see what you're building with our APIs! Feel free to link to your projects in the comments below. Should you have any questions about the usage of the API, feel free to post in our help forum as well.
