Hey congrats on the launch!

How does it work technically?

Does Google provide an API to actively inform about new websites?

We integrate directly with Google Search Console to check the indexing status of each link. When a new link needs indexing, we use the Google Indexing API to submit it. This speeds up the whole process without requiring any programming knowledge.
Google Cloud has an API to crawl a page, but it’s only meant to be used for job postings and live events, so they can add and remove the pages quicker than usual.
