Build a useful URL list while respecting the site’s access rules and private paths.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For a site owner or researcher with permission to inventory a website, discover its sitemap files, follow valid nested sitemap references, clean page addresses, and save selected URLs for review. Sitemaps can contain restricted or irrelevant locations, and a listed page is not permission to crawl or reuse it. Check robots guidance, terms, page scope, and request limits; exclude private or sensitive paths; preserve source and retrieval details; and approve any follow-on collection separately.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

Illustrative workflow and outcome
An authorized site address is submitted for URL inventorySite-owner permission or other valid authority, a defined path scope, and an approved destination
“Prepare a clean, traceable URL inventory without crawling or reusing content beyond the approved purpose.”
Work through the request.

Clear tasks, with review where it matters.

  1. Confirm site authority and inventory purpose
  2. Review sitemap and robots guidance
  3. Clean and deduplicate page addresses

What this workflow could do

Checks candidate sitemap locations, follows valid nested sitemap references, filters selected URLs, and records them in a sheet.

Review points proposed in this idea

A sitemap can expose paths that should not be collected or visited. Exclude disallowed and private locations, respect robots guidance and site terms, and do not treat URL discovery as permission to scrape page content.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Define allowed domains and paths

    Maintain a reviewed allowlist and clear exclusions.

  2. 02

    Set respectful request and error limits

    Use bounded discovery and stop when a site signals restrictions.

  3. 03

    Keep inventory private and time-limited

    Restrict the destination sheet and remove outdated URLs when no longer needed.

  4. 04

    Separate URL discovery from content collection

    Do not use a sitemap as blanket permission to copy or republish pages.
