#Google Search Console API delayed
Table of Contents
The web interface is not delayed but the API seems backed up since last Thursday.
There are numerous reports that the Google Search Console API is delayed and not showing data sooner than this past Thursday, February 20th. If you use this API for your own tools, or bring in this data through Looker Studio reports, Big Query or other tools, your reports may be delayed.
More details. The delays started around last Wednesday and some are now saying some data for Thursday is slowly coming in. However, generally, data is as recent as today through the Search Console API.
The web interface is not impacted, so you can get data from going to Google Search Console directly.
Some are saying data for Thursday is now coming in, but others are not sure yet.
Google has not comments on this issue yet.
Why we care. If you are noticing weird data in your tools or reports and that data generally comes from Google Search Console’s API, this is why.
I suspect the data flow will return to normal in the coming days, but if you do report and you see weirdness in those reports, this is your explanation.
For more, if you need that data, access it directly through the web interface.
