Your API key and first API call

Create a key, switch API access on, then POST URLs to /api/v1/submit with a Bearer token.

The QuickIndexx API lets you submit URLs and track results from your own code. Full reference: API docs.

1. Create your key

Open API & integrations.
Click Create API key. The full key (it starts with qi_live_) is shown once, so copy it somewhere safe right away.
Switch API access on for the key. New keys start disabled.
Optional: under Security, add an IP whitelist (for example 203.0.113.7, 198.51.100.2). Leave it empty to allow any IP.

Regenerate key gives you a new key and immediately invalidates the old one. Revoke removes it.

2. Make your first call

Base URL: https://quickindexx.com/api/v1. Send your key as Authorization: Bearer qi_live_… or X-API-Key: qi_live_….

curl -X POST https://quickindexx.com/api/v1/submit \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $QI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls":["https://yoursite.com/new-post"]}'

A successful response looks like this:

{
  "success": true,
  "submitted": 1,
  "rejected": 0,
  "creditsUsed": 1,
  "remainingCredits": 498,
  "results": [
    { "url": "https://yoursite.com/new-post", "status": "queued", "id": "cm3x1…" }
  ]
}

Save the id values. You'll use them to check status.

Request rules

Send urls (an array, max 500) or a single url.
Optional source: api, wordpress or chrome.
Each accepted URL costs 1 credit. Rejected URLs cost nothing, and duplicates in one request are merged.
If you don't have enough credits for the valid URLs, you get HTTP 402 and nothing is charged.

Rate limits

20 requests per second per key on Personal packs, 50 on Business packs. Going over returns HTTP 429.

Next steps

Check results with status, history and balance.
Code examples for Node.js, Python and PHP are on the API docs page.
