Feeds and sitemaps
RSS, sitemaps and the Google News sitemap, and what's in each.
| Address | What it carries |
|---|---|
/feed | RSS: the latest 50 stories in that language. /hi/feed for Hindi, and so on. |
/sitemap.xml | Every public address — homepages, sections, pages, stories, authors — in every language, with pictures. |
/news-sitemap.xml | Stories from the last 48 hours, for Google News. |
/robots.txt | Crawl rules, pointing at the sitemaps. |
/ads.txt | Who may sell your ad space — built from your AdSense settings. Missing until you set it up. |
Languages#
Each language version of a story or page is its own address: the main language at the root, the others under their code. Each page names its versions in other languages, so search engines pair them instead of treating them as copies.
Google News#
The news sitemap is deliberately short — 48 hours, up to 1,000 stories — because that's what Google News reads. Everything older is in the main sitemap.
