# Sitemap extractor: list every URL in an XML sitemap

**Use case:** 

Find every sitemap for a domain (robots.txt, nested indexes, .gz, .txt, common paths) and return all URLs with lastmod, priority, images, hreflang, path groups and duplicates. Optional broken-link, redirect, noindex checks. Partial results never fail the run. $0.001 per sitemap file / link checked.

## 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/transparent_meteorite/sitemap-link-inventory.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`).
