Usage

Sitemap

The package contains a WebAPI controller, which by default can be accessed at /umbraco/api/Sitemap/XmlSitemap. The controller outputs the XML sitemap for the site matching the inbound domain, or an error if the domain isn't recognized.

To make the sitemap appear at /sitemap.xml instead, you can add the following IIS rewrite rule:

<rule name="sitemap" stopProcessing="true" patternSyntax="ExactMatch">
  <match url="sitemap.xml" />
  <action type="Rewrite" url="/umbraco/api/sitemap/XmlSitemap" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Found" statusCode="200" />
</rule>

Under the hood, the XML sitemap generation is handled by the ISitemapHelper interface. The default implementation of the interface is SitemapHelper, but implementation can be overridden using dependency injection.
