From Indexing API documentation:

> Currently, the Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either `JobPosting` or `BroadcastEvent` embedded in a `VideoObject`.

So this might come with the risk of seeing the site you want to boost rather penalized by Google.

This is not a boost, Index != Ranking

Either way, this is clearly abusing the API by using it for things that it wasn't intended for.

The only outcome I can see from this is a) contributing to the rise of spam and b) harming people managing sites and apps for which this API is vital.
