I am trying to create a sitemap for my website instead of having to run it through a website that will make it for me. This is because the website changes quite often.
I found code online that achieves part of it:
@app.route('/sitemap.xml', methods=['GET'])
def sitemap():
try:
"""Generate sitemap.xml. Makes a list of urls and date modified."""
pages = []
seven_days_ago = (datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=7)).date().isoformat()
for rule in app.url_map.iter_rules():
if "GET" in rule.methods and len(rule.arguments) == 0:
pages.append( ["..." + str(rule.rule), seven_days_ago])
sitemap_xml = render_template('pages/sitemap_template.xml', pages=pages)
response = make_response(sitemap_xml)
response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/xml"
return response
except Exception as e:
return(str(e))
It works to create a basic sitemap. Okay, easy enough.
I want to add a priority in the meta tags of each page and then build the sitemap off of that. This SO question/answer covers that but it is using beautifulsoup and urllib, and is geared more toward the web, not a local instance.
So, I figure I need to render_template for each route (in this case, rule.rule) then parse that, maybe with BeautifulSoup and get the priority. I have no idea how to do this. Is there a way to GET each template per its route so I can parse it?
