How to force page into amp cache?

I have posted an example AMP page onto a heroku project;

http://boiling-garden-78683.herokuapp.com

I have then tried to use the following curl command to get the AMP cache URL: 

curl -i -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Goog-Api-Key:<MYKEY>" -d "{urls: ['http://boiling-garden-78683.herokuapp.com/']}" "https://acceleratedmobilepageurl.googleapis.com/v1/ampUrls:batchGet"

This curl command is returning: 

{
  "urlErrors": [
    {
      "errorCode": "NO_AMP_URL",
      "errorMessage": "No AMP URL for the request URL.",
      "originalUrl": "http://boiling-garden-78683.herokuapp.com/"
    }
  ]
}

What am I not understanding about AMP? Isn't the whole purpose of making an AMP page so that I can get an AMP URL to give to users instead of them having to go to my site directly?

You can also directly construct the AMP Cache URL. The logic is pretty simple: remove the protocol (http:// in this case), and prefix https://cdn.ampproject.org/c/. If your page is served from https, you would use https://cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/.

But yes, the API you are using only returns results that have already been cached. You can prime the cache with the update-ping URL that Nick provided and then it should work.

You have two options:

  1. Wait when will google crawler find your pages changes

  2. Just do this call by "curl" or just go the link using browser:

    curl https://cdn.ampproject.org/update-ping/c/s/boiling-garden-78683.herokuapp.com

Then the API call you provided will return what you want ;) Mechanism of updating AMP cache (or if not in cache it will add if your AMP is valid) is described on this Update AMP Content page.
