Google tried indexing element api URl

[piotrpog]

I have element API endpoint which requires specific URL attributes to work.

If I enter directly endpoint URL in the browser, it returns error and error code 500:

{"error":{"code":2,"message":"Invalid argument supplied for foreach()"}}

This is expected behavior, but for some reason, google search console started including endpoint URL in its report. It didnt indexed that site, but showed error:

Server error (5xx)

Maybe there should be some additional HTTP header in such situation that would block google?

Just released Element API 2.8.0 which sets X-Robots-Tag: none headers on all API endpoint responses, so this shouldn’t happen anymore.
