Sitemap API for SEO Audit

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 seo audit workflow.

Implementation workflow

1. 1

   Define the workflow objective

   Start from this concrete goal: Automate sitemap audits at scale

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 seo audit before sending the data to the next system.

Why use SitemapKit?

• Get a complete URL inventory in seconds instead of running a full crawl
• Check lastmod accuracy across all pages
• Detect orphaned pages not in sitemaps
• Compare sitemap vs crawl coverage

Implementation example

curl -X POST https://sitemapkit.com/api/v1/sitemap/full \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"url": "example.com"}'

# Response includes all URLs with lastmod, changefreq, priority
# Compare against your crawl data to find gaps
