Sitemap URL Extractor — List All URLs in a Sitemap

⭐ Bookmark this actor so pulling every URL from a sitemap is one click away on your next crawl or audit.

Extract every URL from any XML sitemap — along with its lastmod, changefreq and priority. The actor resolves sitemap indexes recursively, so one nested sitemap_index.xml expands into all its child sitemaps automatically. Pass a direct sitemap.xml URL, or just a site root and it auto-discovers sitemaps from robots.txt.

Pure HTTP + XML parsing — no browser, fast and cheap.

What it does

• Reads a sitemap.xml, sitemap index, or site root (auto-discovery)
• Walks nested sitemap indexes recursively (depth-limited, dedup-safe)
• Returns one record per URL with loc, lastmod, changefreq, priority
• Tracks which source sitemap each URL came from

Input

Example input

{"url":"https://www.theverge.com/sitemaps","maxUrls":5000}

You can also pass a site root like https://apify.com — the actor finds the sitemaps listed in robots.txt (and common locations) and extracts from them.

Output

One record per URL:

{
"loc":"https://www.example.com/blog/post-1",
"lastmod":"2026-05-20",
"changefreq":"weekly",
"priority":"0.8",
"source_sitemap":"https://www.example.com/sitemap-posts.xml"
}

Use cases

• SEO crawls — get the canonical URL list for a site before auditing it.
• Content inventory — export every page with its last-modified date.
• Migration QA — diff old vs new sitemaps to catch dropped URLs.
• Feed a scraper — pipe the URL list into another actor for full-page extraction.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.0005 per URL extracted ($0.50 per 1,000 URLs). Up to 50,000 URLs per run.

Next step: make those URLs AI-discoverable
