# Metalift Sitemap Fetcher

> Metalift Sitemap Fetcher is a paid API for AI agents from app.metalift.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Fetches all URLs from a website's XML sitemap by parsing robots.txt or /sitemap.xml, returning a structured list of site-wide URLs.

## 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 metalift-sitemap-fetcher-f571c944 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch all the URLs listed in the sitemap for https://example.com — I want a complete list of their pages before I start scraping content from each one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint before batch scraping a website when you need a complete list of its indexed pages. Prefer this over the same-origin link discovery (map) endpoint when you want site-wide URL coverage rather than links from a single page. This is the right choice when the target site publishes an XML sitemap and you want an exhaustive URL inventory with minimal credits spent per URL.

## Known failure modes

- No sitemap found — robots.txt exists but references no sitemap, or /sitemap.xml returns 404
- Sitemap is malformed XML — parse error returned
- Website blocks the sitemap request (403/401 response)
- Sitemap index returns nested sitemaps that are very large — partial results or timeout
- Domain does not exist or is unreachable — connection error

## How this service works

Metalift sitemap: fetch URLs from XML sitemaps (robots.txt or /sitemap.xml). Prefer over map for site-wide URL lists before batch scrape. (1 credit ≈ $0.002 USDC)

## Output

A structured list of URLs discovered from the website's XML sitemap (found via robots.txt or /sitemap.xml), ready for downstream batch scraping or analysis. May include metadata like last-modified dates if present in the sitemap.
