# Google's index history of one page

`GET /v1/sites/{site}/search/index/page`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://frontshelf.io/api`
- URL: `https://frontshelf.io/api/v1/sites/{site}/search/index/page`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Google's index history of one page: every stored observation (both trailing-slash spellings, each with its `request_status` and Google's text in its `observed` block), the state `runs` as a timeline, and `explained` (Google's side and our crawler's side as separate sentences, the withheld text in `observed` and `crawled` blocks). `not_tracked`: not among the tracked pages; `not_yet`: tracked, never checked with success; `too_large`: the read stopped (never said as not checked). Paid (index): BILLING_REQUIRED on a site not paid for. Next: gsc_pages_get for the page's clicks around a change.

## Path parameters

- `site` string, required: Site ID (site_…), origin (https://example.com), or bare domain, resolved server-side; the response carries the canonical ID.

## Query parameters

- `source_id` string: One of the site's Search Console properties (ssrc_…, from gsc_sources_list). Omit for the site's primary property.
- `url` string, required: The page's address (https://…). Both trailing-slash spellings are read together.

## Response `200`
