## 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 api-strale-io-83ab7060
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and parse the sitemap for https://example.com and tell me how many URLs it has, what the top path segments are, when pages were last modified, and give me a few sample URLs?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick structural overview of a website's sitemap — URL counts, path patterns, freshness signals — without crawling the full site. Ideal for SEO audits, content discovery, competitive research, or pre-crawl planning. Prefer over manual sitemap fetching when you need parsed, structured output rather than raw XML.

## Known failure modes

- Sitemap not found (no sitemap.xml at standard location)
- URL is not accessible or returns non-200 status
- Malformed or non-standard XML sitemap format
- Sitemap index files pointing to sub-sitemaps may not be fully resolved
- Rate limiting or timeouts on large sitemaps

## How this service works

Fetch and parse a website's XML sitemap. Returns URL count, top path segments, lastmod dates, and sample URLs.

## Output

Returns the total URL count found in the sitemap, the most common top-level path segments, lastmod dates for pages, and a sample set of URLs from the sitemap
