What is a sitemap API?
A sitemap API is a service that discovers the URLs on a website by parsing its sitemap.xml or by following links across pages. It returns a structured list of URLs that you can use to plan crawling, build search indexes, audit site structure, or prepare content migration. Search1API offers two modes: sitemap mode for sites with complete sitemaps, and all mode for broader link discovery when the sitemap is missing or incomplete.
