# Generate an XML sitemap for the site

`POST /v3/sitemaps/generate`

Builds an XML sitemap from the team's crawled pages, honouring the excluded-URL rules. With makePublic=true it PUBLISHES the sitemap to a public URL that search engines can fetch — that is outward-facing, so confirm with the user before setting it. Leave makePublic false to just produce the file.

## Request body

- object
  - `teamId` string, required — SnowSEO team ID. Call list_teams first to choose a team.
  - `makePublic` boolean — Publish the sitemap at a public URL. Outward-facing — ask the user first.

## Response `200`
