Open Web Unlocker — Fetch Skill

Open Web Unlocker fetches web pages and returns clean markdown, raw HTML, or structured JSON. It handles static pages, JS-rendered pages, anti-bot challenges, and search engine results — all via a single CLI command with no installation required.

Quick start

bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url>

Bun (bunx) is preferred. Node (npx) also works.

Format selection

bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --format markdown   # default
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --format json
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --format html

Which format to use:

Format	When to use
`markdown`	Default. Clean content with nav/footer/boilerplate stripped. Best for reading or summarizing pages.
`json`	When you need structured extracted fields (title, author, price, etc.)
`html`	When you need the full raw page including all elements

50+ site-specific parsers produce high-quality markdown and JSON for common domains. Pages without a parser fall back to generic extraction, which may include more noise.

Search engines

Fetch search result pages directly — Open Web Unlocker parses them into structured results:

bunx open-web-unlocker fetch "https://search.brave.com/search?q=query"
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch "https://www.bing.com/search?q=query"
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=query"

Google is not supported.

Timeout

bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --timeout 45000

Default per-strategy timeouts: ~8s for fetch, ~15s for browser. Increase --timeout for slow or JS-heavy pages.
