## 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-8ba1a5e2
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the sitemap at https://example.com/sitemap.xml and give me all the URLs with their last modified dates and priorities?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically enumerate all pages on a website from its sitemap before crawling, auditing content freshness, or building a site map. It is purpose-built for structured sitemap parsing rather than general web scraping, making it faster and more reliable than fetching and parsing raw XML manually. Prefer this over a full-page extraction endpoint when you only need the URL inventory rather than page content.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error response
- Non-XML or malformed sitemap content causes a parse failure
- Sitemap with more than 5000 URLs is truncated at the limit
- Password-protected or access-restricted sitemaps return an authorization error
- Redirect loops or timeouts on the target URL result in a fetch failure

## 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 an array of up to 5000 URL entries (each with the URL string, lastmod date, and priority value) for regular sitemaps, or a list of child sitemap URLs with their metadata for sitemap index files.
