Quickstart

Get up and running with Console Viewer in under five minutes. Connect your GSC property, ingest 16 months of historical data, and start receiving insights immediately.

Heads up: You'll need to be a verified owner of the GSC property you want to connect.

1. Install the CLI

Install the Console Viewer CLI to manage workspaces from your terminal.

$ npm install -g @console-viewer/cli
$ cv login

2. Connect Google Search Console

Authorize Console Viewer to read from your GSC property. We use the official Google OAuth flow with read-only scopes.

$ cv connect gsc --property https://example.com
✓ Authorized
✓ Backfilling 16 months of data...
✓ Done in 2m 14s

3. Query your first insight

Insights are computed within 60 seconds of ingestion. Pull them via the API or check the dashboard.

$ curl https://api.console-viewer.com/v1/insights \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $CV_TOKEN" \
    -G --data-urlencode "site=example.com"
