# Google Search Console connector Source: /docs/connectors/google-search-console.md Use this as an implementation starting point: adapt the worked example to the requested dataset and the source documentation. See [Custom API](/docs/connectors/custom-api) for the shared SDK pattern and document-upload workflow. ## What this connector is for [#what-this-connector-is-for] Search performance and website indexing data for SEO reporting. A connector owns access to the source. Separate syncs shape selected resources into tables for analysis and downstream transformations using the [Python SDK](/docs/reference/python/connectors-and-syncs). ## Data and tables you can pull [#data-and-tables-you-can-pull] These are representative dataset families to consider, not a claim that the worked example implements every resource. Access, fields, and availability depend on the source account, product edition, and permissions. Use the [vendor reference](https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v1/searchanalytics/query) to select concrete resources. | Suggested table | One row represents | | --- | --- | | `sites` | a site | | `search_analytics` | a requested dimension/date group | | `sitemaps` | a sitemap | | `url_inspection_results` | a url inspection result | ### Relationships and extraction considerations [#relationships-and-extraction-considerations] Search-analytics rows are grouped by the requested dimensions and date window. API result limits mean a report should not be described as an exhaustive log of every search event. ## Connecting to Google Search Console [#connecting-to-google-search-console] Uses a Google OAuth token with webmasters.readonly and access to the verified property. Search Analytics data has vendor reporting limits. Additional resources may require additional scopes. Connection settings belong to the connector; dataset filters and resource selection belong to each sync. See the [CLI workflow](/docs/reference/cli/overview) for registration and configuration. ### Connection settings used by the example [#connection-settings-used-by-the-example] | Setting | Requirement | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | | `access_token` | Required; secret | Platform-supplied access token. Refresh or rotate before expiry. | | `site_url` | Required | Verified property URL or sc-domain:example.com. | ### requirements.in [#requirementsin] Save these dependencies in `requirements.in` alongside `connector.py`; the example includes packages used by its sync. Install the published `vortexify` package for local development. Keep sync-specific dependencies in the sync's own `requirements.in` when splitting the implementation into separate resources. ```text vortexify==0.1.1 httpx>=0.27,<1 pandas>=2,<3 ``` No separately installed database driver is needed by this HTTP example. ## Worked example: sync `search_analytics` [#worked-example-sync-search_analytics] **search_analytics** — Date/query search performance report in an explicit window. Google returns top rows and applies reporting limits; this is not an exhaustive event export. The complete files below implement only this example resource. They illustrate the current SDK signatures, a separate preview, bounded DataFrame output, and source-specific extraction. They do not establish complete source coverage. Live credentials and platform ingestion have not been used to validate this guide. With default paths, place the connector files in `connectors/google-search-console/` and sync files in `connectors/google-search-console/syncs/search_analytics/`. Use your project configuration if it specifies different paths. ### Connection schema: `config.json` [#connection-schema-configjson] This file contains a JSON Schema, not actual credential values. Provide those through platform configuration. ```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "access_token": { "type": "string", "title": "Access Token", "description": "Platform-supplied access token.

Registration alone does not run extraction or deploy the connector. Preview must run with a fresh connector and disposable state. The extraction implementation determines full/incremental behavior; merely setting a mode does not implement change capture. API/driver failures propagate unless explicitly handled in the code. Check source limits and single-record/response sizes as well as output batch size. ## Sources and further reading [#sources-and-further-reading] - [Vendor API and data reference](https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v1/searchanalytics/query) — Resource definitions, authentication, fields, and source-specific limits.
