How this service works

x402 API catalogue for AI agents: 50 deterministic HTTP endpoints, paid per call with no account and no API key. One endpoint does one thing, always the same way, for a fraction of a cent.

Output

Returns a structured object containing the full list of discovered URLs (with optional lastmod, changefreq, and priority per entry), total URL count, whether the result was truncated, number of sitemaps visited, any skipped sitemaps with reasons, the discovery method used (direct, robots.txt, or well-known path), format detected (xml/text/rss/atom), and a fetch timestamp.

Example use cases

SEO audit URL discovery

“Pull all the URLs from the sitemap at https://mybrand.com so I can audit which pages are indexed — include lastmod and priority metadata, and find the sitemap through robots.txt.”

Competitor content mapping

“Fetch the sitemap for https://competitor.com and list every URL it exposes, up to 5000 entries, so I can map out their content structure.”

Content freshness monitoring

“Parse the sitemap at https://news-site.com/sitemap.xml with metadata included so I can see which articles have the most recent lastmod dates — limit to 500 URLs.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, no-auth, pay-per-call way to extract all URLs from a website's sitemap, including sitemap index traversal and robots.txt-based discovery. It is especially useful for SEO audits, content mapping, change monitoring pipelines, or any agent workflow that needs a reliable structured list of a site's public pages without setting up scraping infrastructure.

Side effects

URL is not reachable or returns non-2xx — sitemap listed as not_fetchable
Sitemap is malformed XML or unsupported format — reported in sitemaps_skipped with reason malformed
Result truncated when URL count exceeds the specified limit — truncated flag set to true
Sitemap index children exceed max_sitemaps limit — extras skipped with reason sitemap_limit
Cross-host sitemap links skipped — reported with reason cross_host
Sitemap too large to process — reported with reason too_large
robots.txt has no Sitemap: lines and /sitemap.xml is absent — entry_url falls back or returns empty
