Scrape

When to invoke

Use to extract data from a page — "scrape", "get data from", "pull", "extract from", "what's on this page". Read-only: for form fills, clicks, or submissions use the browse daemon's interaction verbs, not this skill.

/scrape — Pull data from a page

{{include lib/snippets/browse-setup.md}}

If BROWSE_NOT_AVAILABLE: fall back to curl + an HTML parse for static pages (note that JS-rendered content and screenshots are unavailable), or stop and tell the user the browse shim is needed.

1. Pin the target

Confirm the URL and exactly which fields the user wants (single record, or a list with per-item fields). If it's ambiguous, ask once with AskUserQuestion.

2. Navigate and inspect

"$B" goto 
"$B" text          # full visible text — orient yourself

For structured values, pull them by selector with js (the stateless shim evaluates against a fresh load) — e.g. a list of prices:

"$B" js "Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.price')).map(e => e.textContent.trim())"

If the page is interactive (needs a click to reveal data), start the daemon and use a chain or refs: "$B" daemon & then "$B" chain "goto " "click " "text".

3. Extract to JSON

Assemble a JSON object (single record) or array (list) of the requested fields, mapping each item's selectors. Verify the count matches what's visible. Quote selectors exactly — never guess a value that isn't on the page.

4. Return

Print the JSON. Name any requested field that couldn't be found rather than fabricating it. If JS-heavy content is missing, retry once via the daemon with a short wait ("$B" chain "goto " "wait 1500" "text").

Discipline

• Read-only. No form submits or destructive clicks here.
• One pass, gently. Don't hammer the site. If the target is behind a login or

looks protected (ToS / robots), ask the user before proceeding; for an authenticated page, /connect-chrome reuses their real session.
