## 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 forest-web-sitemap-finder-5b096a4e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I start crawling https://www.shopify.com, can you find where their sitemap is located — check their robots.txt and the standard sitemap.xml and sitemap_index.xml paths?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to locate a site's sitemap before beginning a crawl, especially to avoid guessing sitemap paths or wasting requests on non-existent files. Prefer this over a full crawl when you only need the sitemap location, not its contents. It is ideal as a first step in any web indexing, SEO auditing, or content discovery pipeline where knowing the canonical sitemap URL is prerequisite to further processing.

## Known failure modes

- No sitemap found — site has neither robots.txt declarations nor standard sitemap.xml/sitemap_index.xml files
- URL unreachable or returns non-2xx response — cannot inspect robots.txt
- Malformed or non-HTTP(S) URL input returns validation error
- robots.txt declares a sitemap at an inaccessible cross-origin location
- Rate limiting or network timeout on the target domain

## How this service works

Machine-readable contract for active Forest paid capabilities. Unsigned paid calls return HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED x402 challenge.

## Output

Returns verified sitemap discovery evidence including whether a sitemap was found in robots.txt declarations and/or at conventional same-origin locations (sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml), with the resolved sitemap URLs — without actually crawling the sitemap entries or any site pages.
