Use Case

Sitemap API for AI Training Data Collection

Build URL inventories for AI training pipelines

Written by SitemapKit Editorial TeamUpdated: Jul 21, 2026

Collect comprehensive URL lists across domains for AI training data pipelines. Sitemaps are the most efficient way to discover all content on a domain without crawling.

Expected outcome

A repeatable workflow for ai training data collection that turns sitemap data into a structured result your team can validate and reuse.

Before you start

  • A SitemapKit API key stored in a server-side environment variable.
  • A target domain or sitemap URL and a clear success criterion for the ai training data collection workflow.

Implementation workflow

  1. 1

    Define the workflow objective

    Start from this concrete goal: Build URL inventories for AI training pipelines

  2. 2

    Request the sitemap data

    Use the implementation example below from server-side code and pass the target domain or sitemap URL required by the workflow.

  3. 3

    Validate and reuse the result

    Check the returned sitemap URLs and page records against the expected outcome for ai training data collection before sending the data to the next system.

Why use SitemapKit?

  • Discover all content URLs on any domain instantly
  • Filter by content type using URL patterns
  • Use lastmod to prioritize fresh content
  • Scale across thousands of domains

Implementation example

import requests
import json

domains = ["docs.python.org", "react.dev", "developer.mozilla.org"]
all_urls = []

for domain in domains:
    resp = requests.post(
        "https://sitemapkit.com/api/v1/sitemap/full",
        headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
        json={"url": domain}
    )
    urls = resp.json().get("urls", [])
    all_urls.extend([u["loc"] for u in urls])

print(f"Collected {len(all_urls)} URLs for training data")
with open("training_urls.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(all_urls, f)
