【Worked】Ping failed for Bing: #<OpenURI::HTTPError: 410 Gone>

[mah666hhh]

Error when running rake sitemap: refresh`` Ping failed for Bing: # <OpenURI :: HTTPError: 410 Gone> Has occurred.

 $ bundle exec rake sitemap:refresh
In '/Users/xxx/workspace/ccc/vvv/':
+ sitemaps/sitemap.xml.gz                                 15 links /  561 Bytes
Sitemap stats: 15 links / 1 sitemaps / 0m01s

Pinging with URL 'https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/sitemaps/sitemap.xml.gz':

Ping failed for Bing: #<OpenURI::HTTPError: 410 Gone> (URL http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com%2Fsitemaps%2Fsitemap.xml.gz)

If you check the ping destination with the current Bing Webmaster Tools,

http://www.bing.com/webmasters/submiturl?siteUrl=

The URL is like this,

I suspect this is currently the correct ping destination URL for Bing.（in japan.）

# In gem, not working.
"http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=%s"

# In Bing Webmaster Tools, Work.
"http://www.bing.com/webmasters/submiturl?siteUrl=%s"

for that reason,

When creating an instance of SitemapGenerator :: Sitemap

I think I need to change the parameters of search_engines: bing: parameters.

{ search_engines: { bing: "http://www.bing.com/webmasters/submiturl?siteUrl=%s" } }

• e.g.

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.create({ search_engines: { google: "http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap=%s", bing: "http://www.bing.com/webmasters/submiturl?siteUrl=%s" } }) do
  add 'page_url'
end

Running rake sitemap: refresh as above worked for me.

$ bundle exec rake sitemap:refresh
In '/Users/xxx/workspace/ccc/vvv/':
+ sitemaps/sitemap.xml.gz                                 15 links /  561 Bytes
Sitemap stats: 15 links / 1 sitemaps / 0m01s

Pinging with URL 'https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/sitemaps/sitemap.xml.gz':
  Successful ping of Google
  Successful ping of Bing

I think the corrections are as follows.

https://github.com/kjvarga/sitemap_generator/blob/master/lib/sitemap_generator/link_set.rb#L129

# not working.
:bing           => "http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=%s"

# Work.
:bing           => "http://www.bing.com/webmasters/submiturl?siteUrl=%s"

Thank you.

Seems like the Bing sitemap ping is deprecated https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/may-2022/Spring-cleaning-Removed-Bing-anonymous-sitemap-submission

Bing looks to be pingable via IndexNow - https://www.indexnow.org/faq

Hi all, Bing is no longer accepting direct pings, so it has been removed in v6.3.0.

Until we get support for IndexNow we won't be able to ping Bing.
