Free sitemap scraper. Point it at any sitemap.xml and get every URL as structured JSON or CSV — including lastmod, changefreq and priority for each entry. Sitemap indexes are followed automatically (up to 100 child sitemaps, 2 levels deep) and gzipped sitemaps (.xml.gz) are decompressed on the fly. The fastest way to turn a website's sitemap into a crawl list, an SEO audit input or a migration checklist. This Actor is free — you only pay for your own Apify platform usage.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
sitemapUrls | array | Direct sitemap or sitemap-index URLs. |
maxUrls | integer | Total URL cap across all sitemaps (default 500). |
followIndex | boolean | Follow child sitemaps of an index (default true). |
Output
{"status": "found","url": "https://apify.com/store","lastmod": "2026-07-01","changefreq": "daily","priority": "0.8","sourceSitemap": "https://apify.com/sitemap.xml","rootSitemap": "https://apify.com/sitemap.xml"}
status is found, not_found (sitemap empty) or error (fetch/parse failure, with an error message). A broken sitemap never crashes the run.
Use cases
- Build a complete URL list for an SEO audit or content inventory.
- Compare sitemaps before/after a site migration to catch lost pages.
- Feed URLs into other scrapers or a broken-link checker.
- Monitor how often competitors publish (via
lastmoddates).
Limitations & fair use
The Actor fetches sitemap files only (no page crawling) with a polite delay between requests. Respect the target site's terms of service.
