Query **Google Search Console** via `curl + jq`. The user's OAuth bearer token is
in `$GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_TOKEN` (scope `webmasters.readonly`); every call needs
`Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_TOKEN`. Base:
`https://searchconsole.googleapis.com`.

Failures are `{"error":{"code","message","status"}}` — show verbatim. `401` =
re-install. `403` = the token's account doesn't own/verify that site.

```bash
AUTH="Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_TOKEN"
# Verified sites (siteUrl is the property — URL-encode it in later calls)
curl -sS -H "$AUTH" "https://searchconsole.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites" \
  | jq '.siteEntry[] | {siteUrl, permissionLevel}'
```

## Search analytics

```bash
# Top queries by clicks for the last 28 days. siteUrl must be URL-encoded
# (https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F  or  sc-domain%3Aexample.com).
SITE="https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F"
curl -sS -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "startDate":"2026-05-24","endDate":"2026-06-21",
  "dimensions":["query"],"rowLimit":10
}' "https://searchconsole.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites/$SITE/searchAnalytics/query" \
  | jq '.rows[] | {query: .keys[0], clicks, impressions, ctr, position}'
```

Swap `dimensions` for `["page"]`, `["country"]`, `["date"]`, or combine
`["query","page"]`. Add `"dimensionFilterGroups"` to filter by page/country.

## Sitemaps & URL inspection

```bash
# Submitted sitemaps
curl -sS -H "$AUTH" "https://searchconsole.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites/$SITE/sitemaps" \
  | jq '.sitemap[] | {path, lastDownloaded, errors, warnings}'

# Is a URL indexed?
curl -sS -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"inspectionUrl":"https://example.com/page","siteUrl":"https://example.com/"}' \
  "https://searchconsole.googleapis.com/v1/urlInspection/index:inspect" \
  | jq '.inspectionResult.indexStatusResult | {verdict, coverageState, lastCrawlTime}'
```

## Gotchas

- **Two property shapes:** URL-prefix (`https://example.com/`) vs Domain
  (`sc-domain:example.com`). Use exactly the `siteUrl` from the sites list,
  URL-encoded.
- Data lags ~2–3 days; the most recent dates may be partial/empty — set `endDate`
  a couple days back for stable numbers.
- `ctr` is 0–1, `position` is average rank (lower = better).
