Sitemap Extractor — Every URL with Dates, Images & hreflang

Get every URL listed in a website's sitemaps — with last-modified date, change frequency, priority, images, hreflang language versions and Google News tags. Give a website and its sitemaps are found through robots.txt; nested sitemap indexes and gzipped .xml.gz files are followed.

Why this one

• 🧭 Finds the sitemaps for you. From robots.txt (the BBC lists 39, the New York Times 25), or /sitemap.xml and /sitemap_index.xml when robots.txt names none.
• 🪆 Follows everything. Sitemap indexes inside indexes, gzipped sitemaps (recognised by their bytes, whatever the server calls them), and plain-text sitemaps.
• 🏷️ All the tags. lastmod, changefreq, priority, image links, hreflang alternates, and news titles and dates.
• 🧾 Honest results. A sitemap that fails is reported; the others are still delivered. A website without a sitemap comes back as a free record saying so. In a live test run, 40,770 URLs from five websites were delivered in one run.
• 💸 You pay only for URLs delivered. Filters — URL contains, URL excludes, changed since — skip URLs for free.

What you get

For every URL:

alternates	language versions: hreflang and url
news	for news sitemaps: title, publicationDate, publication
sitemap, site, input	which sitemap file and website it came from

FAQ

Does it crawl the website? No. It reads what the sitemaps list, which is fast and gentle on the site. For pages missing from the sitemaps, use a crawler.

Why do some URLs have no lastmod? The sitemap does not give one. They are kept when you filter by Changed since.
