Hi,
Is there any method to know which pages, links from sitemap are not indexed by google.
For example, in webmaster tools it says 3200 links submited and 3125 indexed.
I'm interesed to know which of sitemap links are not indexed, or which are indexed, if there is such method.

— short answers in this thread from , and are noted, but a reproducible workflow is needed to get the exact list of sitemap URLs that Google has not indexed. The authoritative method is to use Google Search Console’s Page indexing (Coverage) report: filter the report by a specific submitted sitemap, open the “Why pages aren’t indexed” details and export the table of example URLs. This produces an explicit list that can be reconciled with the sitemap. ()

Workflow (UI): add/verify the site property in Search Console, open Index → Pages (Coverage), use the Sitemap dropdown to choose “All submitted pages” or a specific sitemap, click an excluded reason to see affected URLs, then use the Export button to download the chart/table. The Search Central documentation explains sitemaps and why submission helps with discovery. ()

Workflow (automated / large sites): call the Search Console Sitemaps API to list submitted sitemaps and their counts, fetch the sitemap XML (or use the API’s sitemap details), then programmatically inspect priority URLs with the URL Inspection API (index.inspect) to get per-URL indexStatus and canonical/robots results. Because the URL Inspection API inspects one URL per call and is rate-limited, design throttling and prioritize high-value pages; for large-scale reconciliation it’s common to export the Coverage report and do a join with the sitemap list in a spreadsheet or script. (developers.google.com)

Troubleshooting notes: common non-index reasons include robots/noindex, Google-selected canonicals, duplicates, server errors or thin content — the Page indexing report and the URL Inspection (including “Test live URL”) explain which. Search Console data is not always real‑time; use URL Inspection for the freshest check. The Indexing API is not a catch-all — it’s intended for JobPosting and livestream pages only. ()
