Integrating Microsoft Bing's IndexNow API into your Odoo website involves a few steps to ensure that your content updates are promptly indexed by search engines. Here's how you can do it, including the process for hosting your UTF-8 key file.

1. Generate Your API Key

First, you need to generate an API key for IndexNow. You can do this through the IndexNow website. This key will be used to authenticate your requests to the IndexNow API.

The generated API key should be a unique string.

2. Create the Key File

After generating the API key, you need to create a text file named .txt, where is the key you generated.

Inside this text file, simply place the API key in UTF-8 format.

3. Host the UTF-8 Key File at the Root of Your Website

Upload this text file to the root directory of your Odoo website. This means it should be accessible at root if the website

This step is necessary because Bing will verify the existence of the file at this location to ensure the website is authorized to use the API key.

4. Integrate the IndexNow API in Odoo

To trigger the IndexNow API from your Odoo website whenever you update or create content, you’ll need to implement a small script or module that makes an HTTP request to the IndexNow API endpoint.
