Importing a Sitemap XML into Google Sheets

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0100

The Goal

In the following short article, we want to import data from an existing sitemap XML file into a new Google Sheet document.

The sheet must pull the sitemap via HTTP protocol and extract all the URLs from the sitemap and insert them. into the sheet.

Implementation

Now let’s implement it .. it only takes 1 minute …

For demonstration purpose, I’m going to use the sitemap from my old blog, to be found at https://www.hascode.com/sitemap.xml.

Fetch and Decode Secret

You need to have jq installed to use this snippet!

kubectl --context=my-context -n my-namespace get secret my-secret-name -o json | jq '.data | map_values(@base64d)'

Rerun existing completed Job

kubectl replace deletes the old job, if there is any error, your job definition is lost, don’t forget to save it first!

Replace an existing Job with itself

kubectl get job JOBNAME -o yaml | kubectl replace --force -f -

XML Snippets

Ignore Namespaces in XPath Query

e.g. Query for all xxx nodes ignoring their namespace:

xmllint --xpath '//*[local-name()="xxx"]' input.xml

An example parsing URLs from a sitemap XML.

The URLs are located in //url/loc where all nodes are bound to the namespace http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9.

The following query ignores the namespace

xmllint --xpath '//*[local-name()="url"]/*[local-name()="loc"]' sitemap.xml

Pretty Print XML in the Console using xmllint

echo '<blogs><blog url="https://www.hascode.com/">hasCode.com</blog></blogs>' | xmllint --format -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<blogs>
    <blog url="https://www.hascode.com/">hasCode.com</blog>
