Sitemap XML Ingestion
Sitemap XML ingestion allows an AI crawler to discover and index all authoritative URLs published in a website’s `sitemap.xml` file.
Sitemap XML ingestion is the automated parsing of a website’s standard XML sitemap file to discover all canonical URLs, priority tiers, and last-modified dates for indexing.
How Sitemap XML works in practice
Instead of blindly following internal links from the homepage, sitemap ingestion immediately identifies the complete URL structure, including deep blog posts and documentation pages.
It also checks `<lastmod>` timestamps to recrawl only pages that have been updated since the last crawl.
