sitemap-audit

This codebase recursively extracts URLs from a given XML sitemap URL, then prints the GET request status for each URL to the console in a formatted table.

Project setup

1. Install Dependencies with npm ci.

2. Set Environment Variables:

   • Copy/paste the contents of .env-example into a new .env file in the project root.
   • Do not commit the .env file!

     Environment Variable	Is Required?	Notes
     SITEMAP_URL	Yes	The XML sitemap URL to recursively extract URLs from
     TARGET_BASE_URL	No	An optional base URL used to replace the base URL in extracted URLs (a dev environment for example)
     URL_COUNT_THRESHOLD	Yes	An integer string setting the threshold number of URLs to check

3. Run the code with npm start.

Note The larger the URL_COUNT_THRESHOLD value is, the longer it will take to complete. A large value approaching 2^32 - 2 could possibly crash the program.
