Tools (3)
🟡build_indexnow_payload(key, urlList, host, keyLocation, engine)
Validates a key and URL list against the IndexNow spec and returns the exact JSON POST body, the endpoint, a ready-to-run curl command, and the reason for every URL it dropped. Enforces the same-host rule, the 10000-URL batch limit, https/http consistency, fragment stripping and de-duplication.

}⚪validate_indexnow_key(key, host)
Checks an IndexNow key against the protocol schema (length, character set) and, given a host, returns the exact URL the key file must be served from, the exact contents it must have, and the curl command to verify it. Most 403 rejections are a key file that returns an HTML 404 page with a 200 status.

}🟡diff_sitemaps(previous_sitemap, current_sitemap, key, keyLocation, engine, ...)
Parses two sitemap documents (urlset XML, sitemapindex XML, or a newline-delimited URL list) and reports added, removed and lastmod-changed URLs. Returns only the URLs worth submitting to IndexNow. Pass a key to also get the finished, validated POST body.
