The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Sitemap Analyzer — Parse, Validate & Check URLs Parse XML sitemaps, extract all URLs with their metadata (lastmod, changefreq, priority), validate structure against standards, and optionally check HTTP status of every URL. Supports sitemap indexes. $0.003 per sitemap. --- ### What it does 1. **Parse** — extracts all `` entries with loc, lastmod, changefreq, priority 2. **Validate** — checks for invalid priority values, bad changefreq, missing lastmod, >50K URL limit 3. **Status check** (optional) — HEAD request to every URL, reports broken links within the sitemap 4. **Sitemap index** — detects `` and lists all child sitemaps --- ### Quick start ```json { "urls": ["https://www.sitemaps.org/sitemap.xml"], "checkStatus": false } ```` *** ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `urls` | array | *(required)* | Sitemap URLs to analyze | | `checkStatus` | boolean | `false` | Check HTTP status of every URL in sitemap | | `timeout` | integer | `10000` | Request timeout for status checks | | `dryRun` | boolean | `false` | Analyze without charges | *** ### Output ```json { "sitemapUrl": "https://example.com/sitemap.xml", "type": "sitemap", "urlCount": 142, "entries": [ { "loc": "https://example.com/page-1", "lastmod": "2026-04-01", "changefreq": "weekly", "priority": "0.8", "statusCode": 200, "statusOk": true } ], "issues": [ "Only 100/142 URLs have lastmod dates" ], "status": "success" } ``` *** ### Pricing **$0.003 per sitemap analyzed** (pay-per-event pricing). - Errors and dry runs are never charged. - 10 sitemaps = $0.03 - 100 sitemaps = $0.30 *** ### Related Tools by manchittlab - **[Broken Link Checker](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/broken-link-checker)** — Recursively crawl and find broken links (uses sitemaps too). - **[SSL Monitor](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/ssl-monitor)** — Bulk SSL certificate monitoring. - **[Security Headers](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/security-headers)** — OWASP security header audit. - **[DNS/WHOIS Suite](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/dns-whois-suite)** — Full DNS records + RDAP lookup. - **[Lighthouse Auditor](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/lighthouse-auditor)** — Batch performance and SEO audits. - **[Domain Age Checker](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/domain-age-checker)** — RDAP domain age lookup. *** ### Run on Apify [![Run on Apify](https://apify.com/static/run-on-apify.svg)](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/sitemap-analyzer) No setup needed. Click above to run in the cloud. $0.003 per operation. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): URLs to XML sitemaps (sitemap.xml or sitemap\_index.xml). ## `checkStatus` (type: `boolean`): Send HEAD requests to every URL in the sitemap and report HTTP status codes. Slower but finds dead links. ## `timeout` (type: `integer`): Timeout per HTTP request when checking status codes. ## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`): Analyze sitemaps but don't charge. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.sitemaps.org/sitemap.xml" ], "checkStatus": false, "timeout": 10000, "dryRun": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "urls": [ "https://www.sitemaps.org/sitemap.xml" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("accurate_pouch/sitemap-analyzer").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
