simple Python module to create XML sitemaps
Project description
THIS IS A FORK
The metadata for the Apesmit package by Florian Diesch indicates Python 3 compatibility, but it actually works fine with Python 2. This fork just removes the Python 3-only flag.
What is ApeSmit?
ApeSmit is a very simple Python module to create XML sitemaps as defined at http://www.sitemaps.org. ApeSmit doesn’t contain any web spider or something like that, it just writes the data you provide to a file using the proper syntax.
Usage
First we create an instance of SiteMap:
>>> sm=Sitemap(changefreq='weekly')
The changefreq keyword sets a default value for that parameter.
Now we add some URL’s to our sitemap:
>>> sm.add('http://www.example.com/')
We may use some parameters:
>>> sm.add('http://www.example.com/news/', changefreq='daily', ... priority=1.0, ... lastmod='1891-1-1')
There’s a shortcut for URL’s that changed today:
>>> sm.add('http://www.example.org/about.html', lastmod='today')
That’s all for now. Next we need a file to write the sitemap in:
>>> out=open('sitemap.xml', 'w')
Now we write our sitemap and then close the file:
>>> sm.write(out) >>> out.close()
And that’s the content of our shiny new sitemap:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd" xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.example.com/news/</loc> <lastmod>1891-1-1</lastmod> <changefreq>daily</changefreq> <priority>1.0</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.example.org/about.html</loc> <lastmod>2008-04-03</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> </url> </urlset>
