Get Your API Key:

Visit the IndexNow website and follow their instructions to generate an API key. This key helps verify your ownership of the domain you'll be submitting URLs for.

Host Your API Key:

Save your API key in a plain text file encoded in UTF-8. You can name this file anything (e.g., key.txt). Place this file in the root directory of your website. This means it should be accessible at the same web address as your homepage (e.g., https://www.yourwebsite.com/key.txt).

Configure Umbraco with appsettings.json:

Locate the appsettings.json file in your Umbraco project. Add the following configuration section to the file: JSON

"IndexNow": {
  "ApiKey": "",  // Replace with your actual API key
  "KeyLocation": "https://www.yourwebsite.com/key.txt",  // Update if your filename is different
