Flask Sitemapper is a small Python 3 package that generates XML sitemaps for Flask applications.

Overview

Flask Sitemapper

Flask Sitemapper is a small Python 3 package that generates XML sitemaps for Flask applications. This allows you to create a nice and fully functional sitemap for your project with very minimal code, as demonstrated below. It is compatible with Flask blueprints.

Requirements

  • Python3
  • Flask
  • Jinja2

Installation

pip install flask-sitemapper

Usage

Initialising Flask Sitemapper

The sitemapper must be initialised with the app instance as shown below.

Flask Sitemapper requires SERVER_NAME to be specified in the Flask configuration.

By default, HTTPS will be used for all URLs in the sitemap. To change this, specify https=False when initialising the sitemapper.

import flask
from flask_sitemapper import Sitemapper

app = flask.Flask("test_app")

app.config["SERVER_NAME"] = "127.0.0.1:5000"

sitemapper = Sitemapper(app)

If you are using Flask blueprints, you can either list all URLs in a single sitemap by importing the sitemapper instance to your other files, or create multiple sitemaps for each blueprint by defining a sitemapper instance for each.

Adding URLs to the sitemap

Decorators are added to route functions to include their URLs in the sitemap. These must be included above the Flask decorators.

# Define the homepage route and include it in the sitemap
@sitemapper.include()
@app.route("/")
def r_home():
    return flask.render_template("index.html")

You can pass arguments to the decorator to include additional information in the sitemap. Whatever arguments you provide will be included in the URL entry as-is.

@sitemapper.include(
    lastmod = "2022-02-08",
    changefreq = "monthly",
    priority = 1.0,
)
@app.route("/about")
def r_about():
    return flask.render_template("about.html")

This example would appear in the sitemap as:

<url>
  <loc>https://127.0.0.1:5000/aboutloc>
  <lastmod>2022-02-08lastmod>
  <changefreq>monthlychangefreq>
  <priority>1.0priority>
url>

For routes where multiple URL paths are defined, the sitemap will only include the last path.

Store Page"">
@sitemapper.include()
@app.route("/shop")  # This won't be included
@app.route("/buy")  # This won't be included
@app.route("/store")  # This will be included
def r_store():
    return "

Store Page

"

Generating and serving the sitemap

To serve your sitemap, you must define a route function that returns sitemapper.generate(). Your sitemap will then be avaliable at the URL(s) you specify.

This route should be defined after all routes that are included in the sitemap.

@app.route("/sitemap.xml")
def r_sitemap():
    return sitemapper.generate()

The sitemap generated using these examples would look like this:

https://127.0.0.1:5000/ https://127.0.0.1:5000/about 2022-02-08 monthly 1.0 https://127.0.0.1:5000/store ">
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"...>
  <url>
    <loc>https://127.0.0.1:5000/loc>
  url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://127.0.0.1:5000/aboutloc>
    <lastmod>2022-02-08lastmod>
    <changefreq>monthlychangefreq>
    <priority>1.0priority>
  url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://127.0.0.1:5000/storeloc>

  • predefining SERVER_NAME doesn't allow for flask serving multiple domains

    predefining SERVER_NAME doesn't allow for flask serving multiple domains

    Hi there, When defining SERVER_NAME in the app config, a limitation is introduced if your same flask app serves multiple domains. Would it be possible to use the request.host element in the generator instead to generate the URLs when the sitemap is called?

    I tried to get it done myself, but I have to admit I'm getting lost here.

  • How to use with dynamic routes ?

    How to use with dynamic routes ?

    Hi,

    i want to use flask-sitemapper for static and some dynamic routes together with blueprints. I defined a instance of sitemapper in a separate file like describe in documentation and import this instance in every blueprint. In mainfile i initialize the instance with "app" after i registered the blueprints.

    This works well for all static routes like e.g. "/", "/about" etc. But it failed for all dynamic routes like:

    @blueprint_galleries.route("/gallery/<string:slug>", methods=['GET'])
    def gallery(slug):
        id, meta = get_gallery_id_and_meta_with_slug("galleries",slug)
        if id != False and meta != False:
            photo_details = get_gallery_photos("gallery",id)
            return render_template("gallery.html", photos=photo_details, metadata=meta)
        else:
            return render_template("404.html"), 404
    

    Error Message from werkzeug:

    werkzeug.routing.exceptions.BuildError: Could not build url for endpoint 'blueprint_galleries.gallery'. Did you forget to specify values ['slug']?

    I have no idea how i can solve this or use flask-sitemapper with dynamic routes. I don't found anything about it in documentation.

    Any help or hints would be great. Thanks in advanced!

  • add support for deferred initialization and blueprint routes in SitemapperExtend class

    add support for deferred initialization and blueprint routes in SitemapperExtend class

    Thank you @h-janes for creating this amazing extension.

    This PR

    • introduced a deferred initialization to the extension, check init_app
    • added support for blueprint routes
      • no need to explicitely call sitemapper.add_endpoint for large or complex project
      • endpoint name can be found by traversing app.view_functions dict

    Note that blueprints must be registered before initializing sitemapper extension

    All changes are made to SitemapperExtended class, we can merge these into Sitemapper class later

  • Fixes issue #2 and uses pre-defined arguments instead of **kwargs

    Fixes issue #2 and uses pre-defined arguments instead of **kwargs

    • To fix #2, URLs in the Sitemapper urls list are now stored as new URL objects rather than dicts, with methods that generate their URL loc and XML during sitemap generation. These changes are in sitemapper.py and templates.py

    • The Sitemapper methods include and add_endpoint previously accepted **kwargs but now only accept the pre-defined keyword arguments lastmod changefreqand priority

    • README.md has been improved and updated to reflect these changes.

    • A test has been added in test_server_name.py to ensure that the extension respects the SERVER_NAME if it is defined in the Flask configuration.

    • The version number has been incremented to 1.5.0 to reflect these changes and prepare for the next release.

    Dynamic URLS do not work.

    I tried getting the sitemapper working, but even with your code example for dynamic routes I still get an error:

    werkzeug.routing.exceptions.BuildError: Could not build url for endpoint 'blog_bp.r_user'. Did you forget to specify values ['user_id']?

    @sitemapper.include(url_variables={"user_id": [1, 2, 3]}) @blog_bp.route("/user/int:user_id") def r_user(user_id): return f"
