Documentation
Operational documentation for submitting URLs, tracking indexing status, and managing Shoulu credits.
Welcome to the Shoulu documentation. Use these guides to understand URL intake, preflight checks, provider submission, verification logs, credit packs, refunds, and API access.
Getting started
Create an account, buy credits, and submit URLs from the dashboard. Shoulu validates input before provider submission so invalid URLs are rejected early and eligible failures can be reconciled through the credit ledger.
Tracking work
The task dashboard shows every submitted URL, current status, provider metadata, retry timing, and verification history. Use filters to focus on pending, verifying, indexed, rejected, refunded, or dead-lettered tasks.
API access
API keys can be managed from account settings. Keep keys scoped, rotate them when access changes, and monitor recent task history after automated submissions.
