community[minor]: Add custom sitemap URL parameter to GitbookLoader (#30549)
## Description
This PR adds a new `sitemap_url` parameter to the `GitbookLoader` class
that allows users to specify a custom sitemap URL when loading content
from a GitBook site. This is particularly useful for GitBook sites that
use non-standard sitemap file names like `sitemap-pages.xml` instead of
the default `sitemap.xml`.
The standard `GitbookLoader` assumes that the sitemap is located at
`/sitemap.xml`, but some GitBook instances (including GitBook's own
documentation) use different paths for their sitemaps. This parameter
makes the loader more flexible and helps users extract content from a
wider range of GitBook sites.
## Issue
Fixes bug
[30473](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/30473) where
the `GitbookLoader` would fail to find pages on GitBook sites that use
custom sitemap URLs.
## Dependencies
No new dependencies required.
*I've added*:
* Unit tests to verify the parameter works correctly
* Integration tests to confirm the parameter is properly used with real
GitBook sites
* Updated docstrings with parameter documentation
The changes are fully backward compatible, as the parameter is optional
with a sensible default.

Note

Looking for the JS/TS library? Check out LangChain.js.

LangChain is a framework for building LLM-powered applications. It helps you chain together interoperable components and third-party integrations to simplify AI application development — all while future-proofing decisions as the underlying technology evolves.

pip install -U langchain

To learn more about LangChain, check out the docs. If youre looking for more advanced customization or agent orchestration, check out LangGraph, our framework for building controllable agent workflows.

Why use LangChain?

LangChain helps developers build applications powered by LLMs through a standard interface for models, embeddings, vector stores, and more.

Use LangChain for:

  • Real-time data augmentation. Easily connect LLMs to diverse data sources and external / internal systems, drawing from LangChains vast library of integrations with model providers, tools, vector stores, retrievers, and more.
  • Model interoperability. Swap models in and out as your engineering team experiments to find the best choice for your applications needs. As the industry frontier evolves, adapt quickly — LangChains abstractions keep you moving without losing momentum.

LangChains ecosystem

While the LangChain framework can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools when building LLM applications.

To improve your LLM application development, pair LangChain with:

  • LangSmith - Helpful for agent evals and observability. Debug poor-performing LLM app runs, evaluate agent trajectories, gain visibility in production, and improve performance over time.
  • LangGraph - Build agents that can reliably handle complex tasks with LangGraph, our low-level agent orchestration framework. LangGraph offers customizable architecture, long-term memory, and human-in-the-loop workflows — and is trusted in production by companies like LinkedIn, Uber, Klarna, and GitLab.
  • LangGraph Platform - Deploy and scale agents effortlessly with a purpose-built deployment platform for long running, stateful workflows. Discover, reuse, configure, and share agents across teams — and iterate quickly with visual prototyping in LangGraph Studio.
