## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agentreader-sitemap-parser-07f21666
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and parse the sitemap at https://example.com/sitemap.xml and give me the full list of URLs with their lastmod dates and priorities?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically discover the full URL inventory of a website from its XML sitemap, especially when planning a crawl, auditing SEO coverage, or mapping site structure. It handles both standard sitemaps and sitemap index files. Prefer it over manual HTML link-following when the site provides a well-maintained sitemap.xml.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error — URL must be an absolute http/https URL
- Non-XML or non-sitemap content at the URL may cause parse failure
- Sitemaps exceeding 5000 URLs are truncated at 5000 entries
- Unreachable or slow URLs may result in timeout errors
- Password-protected or bot-blocked sitemaps may return access denied

## How this service works

Parse an XML sitemap or sitemap index into JSON: up to 5000 URLs with lastmod and priority, or the list of child sitemaps. Useful for agents planning site crawls or auditing site structure.

## Output

A JSON object containing either: (1) a list of up to 5000 URL entries each with lastmod date and priority value when given a standard sitemap, or (2) a list of child sitemap URLs when given a sitemap index. The response is structured for easy programmatic use by agents planning crawls or auditing site structure.
