SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

You need quick, repeatable access to trending and structured data across many websites, but manual browsing and custom scraping scripts are slow, brittle, and hard to maintain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-command web data fetching: Pull information from 55+ supported sites (Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, and more) using a single Rust-based CLI.
  • Public APIs and browser automation: Use fast public commands without a browser for supported sites, and enable extension-based browser commands when the content requires an authenticated session.
  • AI-powered adapter generation: Generate and share custom site adapters with autocli.ai for scraping new or hard-to-access pages via declarative YAML pipelines.
  • Multi-format outputs: Emit results as table, JSON, YAML, CSV, or Markdown to integrate with downstream tooling.

Quick Start

Run autocli twitter trending to fetch current Twitter/X trending topics from the supported dataset.
