In SDL Web 8.5 is it possible to export a list of all URLs in a specific tree?
We're hoping to use this to cross-check an XML sitemap to ensure nothing that's live isn't missed out (as crawlers won't index anything with a direct link to it).
Thank you,
There is no 'out of the box' way via the GUI, but you can do this using the Core Service.
Something like the following code (which outputs a CSV) should give you a good start:
void Main()
{
List<PageData> allPages = Client.GetList("tcm:25-1234-4", new OrganizationalItemItemsFilterData { Recursive = true, ItemTypes = new[] { ItemType.Page } }).Cast<PageData>().ToList();
foreach (PageData page in allPages)
{
OutputPageDetails(page.Id);
}
}
void OutputPageDetails(string pageId)
{
PageData page = (PageData)Client.Read(pageId, null);
string livePagePublishUrl = Client.GetPublishUrl(pageId, "Live");
Console.WriteLine($"{pageId}, \"{page.Title}\", \"{livePagePublishUrl}\"");
}
(P.S. You'll probably want to consider using Client.GetListXML(), rather than Cleint.GetList() for efficiency)
GetListXML is not more efficient than GetList (as a matter of fact, the first one internally calls the second and then builds the list XML).

tcm:25-1234-64) should actually be the ID (TCM URI or WebDAV URL) of a Publication rather than a Page ?

ListBaseColumns and AdditionalColumns properties of the list filter. In general, GetList results in so-called R6 XML going over the wire, whereas GetListXML results in R5 XML. The latter is older, but a bit more compact (it heavily uses XML attributes rather than nested XML elements). So, indeed, GetList will result in a bit more data sent over the wire, but in many situations this is neglectable.

Actually Jonathan's answer is just part of the solution. You should create 2 lists:
In ideal world, these 2 lists should be identical, but in most cases they are not. Second list is the list of actually published pages on CD Environment, so you should in any case do the following:
