AnakinScraper Skill

Scrape any website and get back clean markdown or structured JSON data. Uses an anti-detect browser (Camoufox) to handle JavaScript-heavy sites and anti-bot protection.

Setup

  1. Start AnakinScraper (if not already running):
git clone https://github.com/Anakin-Inc/anakinscraper-oss.git
cd anakinscraper-oss && make up
  1. Copy the skill into your OpenClaw workspace:
cp -r openclaw-skill ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/anakinscraper

The skill calls the AnakinScraper REST API at http://localhost:8080 directly. No additional build step required.

Available Tools

anakinscraper_scrape

Scrape a single URL synchronously. Returns markdown, cleaned HTML, and optionally structured JSON.

Use this when the user asks to:

  • "Scrape this website"
  • "Get the content from this URL"
  • "Turn this page into markdown"
  • "What's on this webpage?"

Parameters:

  • url (required) — The URL to scrape
  • useBrowser (optional, default false) — Force browser rendering for JavaScript-heavy sites
  • generateJson (optional, default false) — Extract structured JSON data using AI

anakinscraper_extract_json

Scrape a URL and extract structured data as JSON. Best for product pages, articles, listings.

Use this when the user asks to:

  • "Extract the product data from this page"
  • "Get structured data from this URL"
  • "Parse this listing page into JSON"
  • "What products are on this page?"

Parameters:

  • url (required) — The URL to extract data from

anakinscraper_batch_scrape

Scrape multiple URLs at once (up to 10). Returns results for all URLs.

Use this when the user asks to:

  • "Scrape these 5 URLs"
  • "Get content from all these pages"
  • "Batch scrape this list"

Parameters:

  • urls (required) — Array of URLs to scrape (max 10)
  • useBrowser (optional) — Force browser rendering
  • generateJson (optional) — Extract structured JSON from each page

anakinscraper_scrape_async

Submit a scrape job asynchronously. Returns a job ID for later polling. Use for pages that take longer than 30 seconds.

Parameters:

  • url (required) — The URL to scrape
  • useBrowser (optional) — Force browser rendering
  • generateJson (optional) — Extract structured JSON

anakinscraper_get_job

Check the status of an async scrape job. Poll until status is "completed" or "failed".

Parameters:

  • jobId (required) — The job ID returned by anakinscraper_scrape_async

Usage Guidelines

  1. Default to anakinscraper_scrape for most requests — it's synchronous and returns results immediately.
  2. Use anakinscraper_extract_json when the user wants structured data (products, articles, listings).
  3. Use anakinscraper_batch_scrape when scraping multiple URLs.
  4. Use anakinscraper_scrape_async + anakinscraper_get_job only for pages you know will be slow (complex SPAs, heavy anti-bot sites).
  5. Set useBrowser: true for JavaScript-heavy sites, SPAs, or sites with anti-bot protection.
  6. Present the markdown field for readable content, generatedJson.data for structured data.
