Sitemap XML file - Kotlin API reference URLs

Current Documentation

The sitemap.xml includes 45 Kotlin API documentation URLs such as:

• https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/kotlin/messages
• https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/kotlin/beta
• https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/kotlin/models
• https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/kotlin/completions
• (and ~41 more under /docs/en/api/kotlin/*)

What's Wrong or Missing?

All Kotlin API documentation URLs in the sitemap return 404 Page Not Found. The pages render the standard navigation and footer, but the main content area shows:

Page Not Found The requested page could not be found.

Meanwhile, equivalent Java API documentation URLs work correctly:

• https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/java/messages (works)
• https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/kotlin/messages (404)

This causes issues for:

1. Search engine crawlers indexing non-existent pages
2. Documentation mirroring tools that trust the sitemap
3. Users who may find these dead links via search results

Suggested Improvement

Either:
Option 1 (if Kotlin docs are not planned): Remove all /docs/en/api/kotlin/* URLs from the sitemap.
Option 2 (if Kotlin docs are coming): Create the Kotlin API documentation pages, or mark the sitemap entries with appropriate metadata indicating they're not yet available.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

• Affected URLs: All 45 pages under https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/kotlin/
• Java equivalent pages work correctly at https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/java/
• Tested on 2026-01-24 via browser navigation - pages return HTTP 200 but render client-side 404 content
