Sitemap API for Indexing Automation

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 indexing automation workflow.

Implementation workflow

1. 1

   Define the workflow objective

   Start from this concrete goal: Auto-submit new pages to search engines

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 indexing automation before sending the data to the next system.

Why use SitemapKit?

• Detect new pages via sitemap monitoring
• Auto-submit to Google Indexing API
• Faster indexing for time-sensitive content
• Works for job postings, events, and livestream content

Implementation example

import requests
from google.oauth2 import service_account

# Step 1: Get all current URLs from sitemap
resp = requests.post(
    "https://sitemapkit.com/api/v1/sitemap/full",
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"url": "your-site.com"}
)
current_urls = set(u["loc"] for u in resp.json()["urls"])

# Step 2: Compare with previous snapshot
previous_urls = load_previous_snapshot()
new_urls = current_urls - previous_urls

# Step 3: Submit new URLs to Google Indexing API
for url in new_urls:
    submit_to_indexing_api(url)

save_snapshot(current_urls)

Continue with SitemapKit
