# Count the URLs in the sitemaps of websites

**Use case:** 

Finds the XML sitemap of each website (from its robots.txt, else /sitemap.xml), follows sitemap index files (up to five child sitemaps) and returns the number of URLs, the sitemap address and its last modification date. Sites without a sitemap return an empty value. A quick way to compare how large many sites are. One row per domain, exportable as JSON, CSV or Excel.

## Input

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "github.com",
    "python.org",
    "wikipedia.org",
    "hubspot.com"
  ],
  "modules": [
    "sitemap",
    "meta"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerDomain": 4,
  "contactPolicy": "business-only",
  "concurrency": 15,
  "timeoutSecs": 20
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "domain": {
    "label": "Domain",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "metaDescription": {
    "label": "Description",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "canonical": {
    "label": "Canonical",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "h1Count": {
    "label": "H1",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "lang": {
    "label": "Lang",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "schemaTypes": {
    "label": "Schema types",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "sitemap": {
    "label": "Sitemap",
    "format": "object"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Domain Tech Stack, Contacts & SEO Profiler](https://apify.com/tinlark/domain-intelligence-profiler.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/tinlark/domain-intelligence-profiler.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
