Can I convert a sitemap to CSV from the command line?

Yes — use curl to fetch the sitemap, then pipe through xmlstarlet or a one-liner. The shortest version: curl -s https://example.com/sitemap.xml | xmlstarlet sel -t -m '//_:url' -v '_:loc' -o ',' -v '_:lastmod' -n > sitemap.csv. The underscore prefix sidesteps the sitemap namespace. For sitemap-index files, you'd need a wrapper script that follows the children — or use Python's xml.etree which handles namespaces more cleanly. If you don't want a local tool, curl xmlsitemapmaker.com directly: curl -X POST -F 'sitemapUrl=https://example.com/sitemap.xml' -F 'format=csv' https://xmlsitemapmaker.com/sitemap.csv -o sitemap.csv. The endpoint accepts the same form data the web UI sends.
