Ultimate Sitemap Parser (USP) is a performant and robust Python library for parsing and crawling sitemaps.
Features
Supports all sitemap formats:
Field-tested with ~1 million URLs as part of the Media Cloud project
Error-tolerant with more common sitemap bugs
Tries to find sitemaps not listed in robots.txt
Uses fast and memory efficient Expat XML parsing
Doesn’t consume much memory even with massive sitemap hierarchies
Provides a generated sitemap tree as easy to use object tree
Supports using a custom web client
Uses a small number of actively maintained third-party modules
Reasonably tested
Installation
pip install ultimate-sitemap-parseror using Anaconda:
conda install -c conda-forge ultimate-sitemap-parserUsage
from usp.tree import sitemap_tree_for_homepage
tree = sitemap_tree_for_homepage('https://www.example.org/')
for page in tree.all_pages():
print(page.url)sitemap_tree_for_homepage() will return a tree of AbstractSitemap subclass objects that represent the sitemap hierarchy found on the website; see a reference of AbstractSitemap subclasses. AbstractSitemap.all_pages() returns a generator to efficiently iterate over pages without loading the entire tree into memory.
For more examples and details, see the documentation.
