Hello, today I have problem on Google Indexing API - The links are succesfully sent to indexing, 200 OK status code, but I have no request from googlebot. I have tried with multiple domains and accounts.

Anyone facing the same issue today/recently ?

Thanks

It's a major problem or update,
Many indexing services that has been using it got their services in hold

It seems Google have upped the harshness of filtering of indexing submissions via the API: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-updates-indexing-api-spam-detection-38056.html

I've already seen some of the current indexing services suffering because of it.
 
You can check your server logos to see if there are any request from Googlebot.
Use tool Fetch as Google feature in Search Console to simulate how Googlebot accesses your page.

there are a lot of reasons behind this they may be as follows: Google bot delays, Indexing queue backlogs, Domain or account restrictions, API key problems, URL structure or Robots.txt error, etc...,
the possible methods to find the exact issue is to verify search console, check the API keys, review robot.txt and waiting with patience.
 
You're not alone who is facing this problem after new update.

All submissions through the Indexing API undergo rigorous spam detection. Any attempts to abuse the Indexing API, including the use of multiple accounts or other means to exceed usage quotas, may result in access being revoked. Learn more about our spam policies.

Anyone tried the schema they said it's working with? I tried Jobposting embedded in Videoobject, but this doesn't work either

Use the search sometimes, it has already been discussed - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/google-index-api-is-not-working-with-the-new-website.1622109/.
New methods of spam detection are being introduced in the API, standard projects will not be accepted now and the bot will not go through them.
Only certain projects work, about which no one will tell you anything.

You won't recognize it because spam is causing the current restriction, and it's a good thing they're putting the api back the way it was.
The developers are talking about turning it into a hidden api, and it's going to make it and it's going to be even harder to use than it is now.

So you're not going to learn anything and you're not going to get any information from anyone who knows how to use the api now.

Yes I think it's the new update. Leave it be it will return to normal after a while.
