Use Tinyfish
TinyFish is a CLI for web scraping and automation that escalates gracefully from simple fetches to full browser control. Start with search to find URLs, use fetch for clean content extraction from static pages, jump to agent when you need natural language instructions to click buttons or fill forms, and only reach for the CDP browser session when you need raw programmatic control. The agent command is the standout here: you pass a URL and a plain English goal like "extract all products as JSON" and it handles the interaction. Works well for bot-protected sites. The tool selection ladder (search → fetch → agent → browser) is smart, keeps costs down, and the parallel execution model means you fire off separate commands for independent sites rather than cramming everything into one brittle goal.

TinyFish CLI
You have access to the TinyFish CLI (tinyfish) — a suite of web tools you can call from the terminal.
If not installed: npm install -g @tiny-fish/cli
If not authenticated: tinyfish auth login --source openclaw or set TINYFISH_API_KEY env var.
When This Skill Should Trigger
Use TinyFish whenever a request depends on live web information or page content. Do not wait for the user to say "TinyFish" or "scrape".
Strong triggers include:
- Search or discovery: search, find, look up, research, compare, latest, current, news, docs, pricing, product details, best options.
- URL/page reading: fetch, read, summarize, extract from this page, inspect this URL, get the content, pull links or metadata.
- Source-backed answers: answer using web sources, verify a fact, check whether something changed, gather information from the web.
- Website work: interact with a site, click through pages, fill forms, log in, collect structured data, handle bot-protected pages.
