Get Connect Url

Retrieves the Google authorization URL for the Wix user to open.

Surface the returned URL to the person connecting. After they authorize in their browser, Wix completes the OAuth exchange server-side. There is no code-exchange call to make. Poll Get Connection until the status is VALID.

Any Google account can be used and needs no prior Search Console setup. Site verification and property access are established afterwards through the GSC Site Readiness API.

Each call starts a new authorization attempt: the returned URL is single-use and expires after 2 hours, so request a fresh one for every attempt rather than caching or reusing one.

Any user with SEO permissions can start a connection, not only the site owner. The resulting connection is owned by the calling user; Get Connection reports whether the current caller is that owner.

An already-connected site may call this too. Authorizing again with the same Google account refreshes the stored credentials, and authorizing with a different one replaces the connection.

Requires the site to be published, have a connected domain, and allow search-engine indexing; otherwise fails with FAILED_PRECONDITION. These are a subset of what the SEO dashboard checks before it offers the flow. The dashboard also blocks on unpublished changes, on a site the caller lacks permission to publish or to connect a domain for, and on a non-indexable homepage.
