FAQ

What does it return? One row per URL with lastmod, changefreq and priority exactly as the sitemap writes them, plus the sitemap file it came from and the domain. Export as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.

How does it find the sitemap? It reads the Sitemap: lines of robots.txt, then tries the usual locations (/sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, /wp-sitemap.xml and others). You can also paste a sitemap link directly. Sitemap indexes and .gz files are followed automatically.

Are there limits? 5,000 URLs per website by default (you can raise it up to 2,000,000), files up to 80 MB each and up to 5,000 sitemap files per website.

How much does it cost? $0.0003 per URL extracted ($0.30 per 1,000). Websites without a sitemap return one free row saying so.

Does it need an API key or a login? No. It only reads sitemaps that websites publish publicly; it doesn't crawl pages or invent URLs.

Can I send the URLs to another Actor? Yes. Chain it with an integration or the API, for example into the SEO Audit Tool or the URL Status & Redirect Checker.
