URL Inspection

gsc inspect https://www.example.com/pricing
gsc inspect --file urls.txt -o json
cat urls.txt | gsc inspect --file - --max 200

gsc inspect calls the URL Inspection API for each URL. The table shows the verdict, coverage state, indexing state, last crawl time, page fetch state, robots.txt state, Google-selected and user-declared canonicals, the crawler used, and rich results. JSON returns Google's full result for each URL.

Batches and quotaCopy Anchor Link

Google allows 2,000 inspections per property per day and 600 per minute. gsc inspect:

• reads URLs from arguments, or from --file (one per line, - for stdin), and skips duplicates;
• inspects at most --max URLs (default 2,000, the daily quota) and warns when it drops the rest;
• pauses --interval between inspections (default 120ms, which stays under 600 per minute);
• records an error for a single URL and moves on, but stops cleanly when a quota is reached, keeping the results it has.

Inspect only the URLs you need: every inspection counts against the property's quota.

--language sets the language of issue messages as a BCP 47 code (default en-US):
