@wobba : Sad to hear the API behind this cmdlet has been deprecated. I’ve been using it a lot during a migration to make sure the tenant isn’t impacted and that crawls finish on schedule so content stays searchable. Are there any alternatives you’d recommend? It’s such a handy way to check indexing and crawl status.

I am receiving the message Error: "GetCrawledUrls" has been deprecated when executing Get-PnPSearchCrawlLog.

@wobba , is there an alternative approach you’d recommend?

In the migration project I’m currently working on, one of the go-live criteria is to ensure that all migrated files have been indexed so users can search and access content from day one.

@reshmee011 you can use the search API to find files instead of the crawl log as an alternative.
