What it does
- Starts from one or more sitemap XML URLs.
- Supports sitemap indexes and nested sitemap files.
- Extracts page URLs plus
lastmod,changefreq, andprioritywhen present. - Applies include/exclude regex filters before export.
- Deduplicates URLs.
- Outputs a clean dataset view ready for CSV, JSON, or downstream Apify Actors.
Best for
- Preparing URL lists for RAG crawlers.
- Seeding Apify crawlers with filtered URLs.
- SEO audits and site inventory checks.
- Finding docs/blog/product URLs from large sites.
- Competitive content monitoring.
Input example
{"sitemapUrls": ["https://docs.apify.com/sitemap.xml"],"includePatterns": ["^https://docs\\.apify\\.com/platform/actors"],"excludePatterns": ["/login", "/signup", "#"],"maxUrls": 1000,"maxSitemaps": 100,"sameDomainOnly": true}
Output
Each dataset item is one filtered URL:
{"url": "https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors","sitemapUrl": "https://docs.apify.com/sitemap.xml","rootSitemapUrl": "https://docs.apify.com/sitemap.xml","hostname": "docs.apify.com","path": "/platform/actors","lastmod": "2026-07-01T00:00:00.000Z","changefreq": "weekly","priority": 0.8,"discoveredAt": "2026-07-04T00:00:00.000Z"}
Notes
- Keep
maxUrlslow for first runs, inspect the output, then scale up. - For very large sitemap indexes, use include/exclude patterns to avoid exporting irrelevant URLs.
- This Actor extracts URLs only; pair it with a crawler Actor when you need page content.
