SitemapKit + Python

Prerequisites

• A SitemapKit API key kept outside browser and mobile client bundles.
• A server-side Python environment that can make HTTPS requests and parse JSON responses.

How to connect SitemapKit and Python

1. 1

   Store the API key for Python

   Use the secret or environment-variable mechanism provided by your languages setup. Never expose the key in client-side code.

2. 2

   Call the SitemapKit full endpoint

   Adapt the request shown in the Python example below and send the target domain from a trusted server process.

3. 3

   Map the response in Python

   Handle discovered sitemap files, extracted URLs, lastmod values, truncation flags, and API errors before passing the result downstream.

Quick start

import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
BASE = "https://sitemapkit.com/api/v1/sitemap"

# Discover sitemaps
resp = requests.post(f"{BASE}/discover", json={"url": "example.com"}, headers={
    "x-api-key": API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
})
sitemaps = resp.json()["sitemaps"]
print(f"Found {len(sitemaps)} sitemaps")

# Extract all URLs
resp = requests.post(f"{BASE}/full", json={"url": "example.com"}, headers={
    "x-api-key": API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
})
data = resp.json()
print(f"Extracted {len(data['urls'])} URLs")

# Filter by pattern
blog_urls = [u["loc"] for u in data["urls"] if "/blog/" in u["loc"]]
