Indexing API is not Returning result for latestupdate

[chiragvels]

Environment details

• OS: Linux
• PHP version: 8.1
• Package name and version: v2.17.0

Steps to reproduce

1. https://indexing.googleapis.com/batch use with Google_Service_Indexing
2. Google_Service_Indexing_UrlNotification to get response

Code example

$response_meta = $result->getUrlNotificationMetadata();

if ($response_meta) {
    $response_latest_update = $response_meta->getLatestUpdate();
    
    if ($response_latest_update) {
        $response_url = $response_latest_update->getUrl();
        $response_type = $response_latest_update->getType();
        $response_notify_type = $response_latest_update->getNotifyTime();
        
        echo 'URL: ' . $response_url . PHP_EOL;
        echo 'Type: ' . $response_type . PHP_EOL;
        echo 'Notify Time: ' . $response_notify_type . PHP_EOL;
    } else {
        echo 'No latest update found for this URL.' . PHP_EOL;
    }
} else {
    echo 'No metadata found for this URL.' . PHP_EOL;
}

I am not getting $response_latest_update response.

Response is only this:

Google\Service\Indexing\UrlNotificationMetadata Object
(
    [latestRemove] => 
    [latestRemoveType:protected] => Google\Service\Indexing\UrlNotification
    [latestRemoveDataType:protected] => 
    [latestUpdate] => 
    [latestUpdateType:protected] => Google\Service\Indexing\UrlNotification
    [latestUpdateDataType:protected] => 
    [url] => https://example.com/blog
    [internal_gapi_mappings:protected] => Array
        (
        )

    [modelData:protected] => Array
        (
        )

    [processed:protected] => Array
        (
        )

)

when I hit this api

POST https://indexing.googleapis.com/v3/urlNotifications:publish with body :

{
    "url": "https://kunfirm.me/jobs/Abia/Aba/66de5c3d8559681b41aadaf5/view",
    "type": "URL_UPDATED"
}

I get this response

{
  urlNotificationMetadata: {
    url: 'https://kunfirm.me/jobs/Abia/Aba/66de5c3d8559681b41aadaf5/view'
  }
}

but when I try to get update about this url to check if I successfully submitted this url through this api

GET https://indexing.googleapis.com/v3/urlNotifications/metadata?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkunfirm.me%2Fjobs%2FAbia%2FAba%2F66de5c3d8559681b41aadaf5%2Fview

{
    "error": {
        "code": 404,
        "message": "Requested entity was not found.",
        "status": "NOT_FOUND"
    }
}

I've tried different Urls I always get the same response. I've gone through the docs and followed each step carefully. The user has owner permission. Still unable to find out the issue.

facing the same issue with URL_DELETED

Same issue here! Additionally when trying to fetch information about a url that I recently indexed using this API with the following code var_dump($service->urlNotifications->getMetadata(["url" => $urlAsString]));, I get the following output: Caught exception: { "error": { "code": 404, "message": "Requested entity was not found.", "errors": [ { "message": "Requested entity was not found.", "domain": "global", "reason": "notFound" } ], "status": "NOT_FOUND" } }

I still get that output more than 48 hours later and here is a thread where someone experienced a similar issue (from a users point of view): https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/error-404-requested-entity-was-not-found-instant-indexing/ The company (Rankmath) blames it on the indexing api not being supported for any content other than livestreams and job postings.

Still noone has any progress? I just want to automate URL deletion for 404 pages, but I get the same errors (Im using Python)
