Google Search Console: Excluded (Crawl Anomaly)
If you see the API resource "/_api/common-services/notification/invoke" as a crawled URL from your site in Google Search Console, it is because Google accessed it in an unusual manner. This is why Google marks it as a "Crawl Anomaly".
Members Only pages and
password protected pages can cause this error as they return a 403 (Access Denied error) when Google tries to crawl them.
This API resource is related to the structure and functionality of your site. After trying to crawl it, the search engine has determined there's nothing to "gain" from retrieving it.
A crawl anomaly does not affect your site's SEO and you should therefore ignore this message.
Members Only and password-protected pages return the same 403 response to any crawler, so AI bots (such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot) can run into the same crawl anomaly. Check the flagged URL in the Bot Traffic by Page report to see if AI bots also ran into the crawl anomaly and got a non-200 response. If so, no action is needed, since this is expected for all crawler types, not just Googlebot.
