## Short summary

Sitemap Generator is a free online tool that builds `sitemap.xml` files for websites. You enter a public URL, the tool crawls the site following internal links, and it returns a valid XML sitemap that follows the official sitemaps.org protocol. The site is fully bilingual in English and Kiswahili, and no signup is required.

## What it does

Given a public website URL, the tool:

1. Validates the URL for safety (blocks private, internal, and reserved IP addresses — SSRF protection).
2. Crawls the site starting from the homepage and follows internal links.
3. Collects the URLs of all reachable public pages.
4. Generates a `sitemap.xml` file that follows the official sitemaps.org protocol (https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html).
5. Returns the file for download, ready to upload to the site root and submit to search engines.

Limits: up to 100 pages per crawl. For larger sites, a Pro plan or a self-hosted generator script is recommended.

## What it does NOT do

- It does NOT guarantee that pages will be indexed or ranked by Google, Bing, or any other search engine. A sitemap is a *discovery hint*, not a ranking factor.
- It does NOT crawl authenticated, private, or local-network sites.
- It does NOT follow HTTP redirects during crawling (redirects are rejected for safety).
- It does NOT execute JavaScript — only server-rendered HTML content is analyzed.
- It does NOT store submitted URLs, sitemap contents, or crawled page data on the server after the request completes.

## Key features

- **Link-based discovery** — Starts at your address and follows internal links to find public pages.
- **Live crawl progress** — Watch status, elapsed time, and the number of URLs found.
- **Valid sitemap.xml** — Escaped, formatted XML following the sitemaps.org protocol.
- **Public sites only** — Private, internal, and reserved network addresses are rejected.
- **CSV export** — Take your filtered URL list into a spreadsheet for audits.
- **Review every URL** — Search, filter by status code or depth, and sort.

## How to use it

1. Open: https://sitemap.icgangroyalorg.co.tz
2. Enter the website address in the form (e.g. `example.com`).
3. Click "Generate sitemap" / "Tengeneza sitemap".
4. Wait while the crawler discovers pages.
5. Review the resulting XML, then click "Download sitemap.xml" / "Pakua sitemap.xml".
6. Upload the file to the root directory of your website.
7. Add a `Sitemap:` line to your `robots.txt`.
8. Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

## Public API

The generator exposes a JSON API for programmatic use:

- **Endpoint:** `POST https://sitemap.icgangroyalorg.co.tz/api/generate`
- **Content-Type:** `application/json`
- **Request body:** `{ "url": "https://example.com" }`
- **Response:** `application/xml` — a complete `sitemap.xml` document, or a JSON error with an HTTP 4xx/5xx status code.
- **No API key required.** Free tier: up to 100 URLs per request.

Example:

```bash
curl -X POST https://sitemap.icgangroyalorg.co.tz/api/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'
