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 Content Extractor Crawl any website's sitemap.xml and extract structured content from every page. Full-text extraction, metadata, headings, and word counts — perfect for SEO audits, content inventories, and AI training data collection. ### Features - **Sitemap Index Support** — Handles both regular sitemaps (``) and sitemap indexes (``), recursively following child sitemaps - **Gzip Support** — Handles `.xml.gz` sitemaps automatically - **Full Content Extraction** — Extracts clean article text using trafilatura - **Metadata Extraction** — Title, meta description, meta keywords, H1 headings - **URL Filtering** — Include/exclude URL patterns via regex - **Structured Output** — Each item includes URL, content, word count, metadata, lastmod date ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `sitemapUrl` | string | Yes | — | URL to sitemap.xml or sitemap index | | `maxUrls` | integer | No | 50 | Maximum URLs to process | | `extractContent` | boolean | No | true | Extract full text content from each page | | `includePatterns` | array | No | [] | Only process URLs matching these regex patterns | | `excludePatterns` | array | No | [] | Skip URLs matching these regex patterns | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Apify Proxy | Proxy settings for scraping | ### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `url` | string | Page URL | | `title` | string | Page title | | `content` | string | Full extracted text content | | `wordCount` | integer | Word count of extracted content | | `metaDescription` | string | Meta description tag | | `metaKeywords` | string | Meta keywords tag | | `h1Headings` | array | List of H1 heading texts | | `lastmod` | string | Last modification date from sitemap | | `extractedAt` | string | ISO timestamp of extraction | ### Use Cases - **SEO Audits** — Inventory all content on a domain, check titles and meta tags - **Content Migration** — Extract all content from a legacy site before migration - **AI Training Data** — Collect clean text from documentation sites for LLM training - **Competitor Analysis** — Analyze competitor content structure and coverage - **Documentation Indexing** — Build searchable indexes of documentation sites ### Pricing This actor charges per extracted page (`page-extracted` event). # Actor input Schema ## `sitemapUrl` (type: `string`): URL to sitemap.xml or sitemap index file. ## `maxUrls` (type: `integer`): Maximum URLs to process. ## `extractContent` (type: `boolean`): Visit each page and extract full text content. ## `includePatterns` (type: `array`): Only process URLs matching these regex patterns. ## `excludePatterns` (type: `array`): Skip URLs matching these regex patterns. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for scraping. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxUrls": 50, "extractContent": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` # 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 = { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("darknezz/sitemap-content-extractor").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 📖?
