Firefly Sitemap Generator

This project generates XML sitemaps for Firefly Social profiles using a shell script. The script fetches account handles from a remote API and creates per-provider sitemap files, as well as a main sitemap index.

Features

• Fetches handles for multiple providers (Farcaster, Lens, Twitter)
• Generates chunked sitemap XML files for each provider
• Produces a main index.xml referencing all generated sitemaps
• Logs progress and errors to build-sitemap.log

Prerequisites

• jq (for JSON parsing)
  • The script will attempt to auto-install jq if not found (supports Homebrew, apt, yum)
• curl
• Bash (tested on macOS and Linux)

Usage

1. Run the script:

   ./build-sitemap.sh

   All logs will be written to build-sitemap.log.

Output

• Generated sitemaps are saved in the sitemap/ directory:
  • farcaster-account-*.xml, lens-account-*.xml, twitter-account-*.xml
  • index.xml (main sitemap index)
  • static.xml (static entries)

Example Output Files

• sitemap/index.xml: Sitemap index referencing all generated sitemaps
• sitemap/farcaster-account-1.xml: Sitemap for Farcaster accounts (chunked)
• sitemap/lens-account-1.xml: Sitemap for Lens accounts (chunked)
• sitemap/twitter-account-1.xml: Sitemap for Twitter accounts (chunked)

Customization

• To change the output directory, modify the OUTPUT_DIR variable in build-sitemap.sh.
• To adjust the number of links per sitemap file, change MAX_LINKS_PER_FILE.
• To add or remove providers, edit the PROVIDERS array.

Troubleshooting

• If jq is not installed and cannot be auto-installed, install it manually from https://stedolan.github.io/jq/.
