Hi Asyx,
Thanks for getting in touch about this.
That is the REST API endpoint that Independent Analytics uses to record views. For instance, you can see it here recording my view of the homepage: https://d.pr/i/9MQJ1h
I’ve never seen a REST API URL get picked up by GSC. It is clearly not a page that should be crawled and indexed, so it shouldn’t be creating any kind of errors. In GSC, can you mark it as fixed or verify it as a non-issue?
Thank you for your feedback. I’m not sure I have enough experience yet to understand the problem (if there is any problem). Google Search Console said this:
Page is not indexed: Not found (404)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H8Q8NEnXa7lrwjct2RPUTWjRkyQAiVEz/view?usp=sharing
Maybe it’s nothing, but GSC seemed not happy because of this error 404.
I did some more research on this, and it’s a non-issue. I was surprised that Google is finding this URL at all since it is only in the Javascript, but the 404 error code is the correct response. There’s no need to exclude the REST API from crawling or make any changes (this is the robots.txt Yoast recommends).
Thank you for taking the time to look into my request.
I’ll continue to monitor it, and get back to you if needed.
Best regards,
Asyx
