Sitemap URL Extractor – All URLs from Any Website

Get the complete list of a website's URLs from its XML sitemaps in seconds. Enter a domain and the Actor finds the sitemaps (from robots.txt and common locations such as /sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, /wp-sitemap.xml), follows sitemap index files recursively, reads gzipped (.xml.gz), text and RSS/Atom sitemaps, and outputs one row per unique URL with lastmod, changefreq, priority, image count and hreflang alternates.

$0.20 per 1,000 URLs. No browser, no start fee.

Use cases

• 🗺️ Crawl planning — feed the URL list into scrapers, the Website to Markdown Crawler, an SEO auditor or a status checker
• 🆕 Find new or updated content — use Modified after to get only pages changed since a date (competitor monitoring, news, product launches)
• 📊 SEO audits — count indexable pages per section, check sitemap coverage, compare with crawls
• 🛒 Ecommerce — list all product or category URLs of a store

Features

• Sitemap auto-discovery from robots.txt + common paths, or give a direct sitemap URL
• Recursive sitemap indexes, .xml.gz, plain-text and RSS/Atom sitemaps
• Fields: url, lastmod (normalized ISO 8601), changefreq, priority, imageCount, hreflang alternates, Google News title, source sitemapUrl
• Filters: include/exclude glob or regex patterns, lastmod after date, max URLs per site

FAQ

The site has no sitemap — what now? You'll get a free row saying so. Use a crawler (e.g. the Website to Markdown Crawler or Technical SEO Site Auditor) to discover pages by following links.

Does it check if the URLs work? No, it lists them. Pipe the list into the Bulk URL Status & Redirect Checker to find 404s and redirects in your sitemap.

Are huge sitemaps supported? Yes — sitemap indexes with hundreds of files and millions of URLs. Use Max URLs per site to cap.
