SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenCLI removes the need for brittle UI copy-paste or missing APIs by turning a logged-in website into structured, repeatable CLI commands driven by your existing Chrome session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session-backed browser-to-CLI adapter creation: Extracts data by driving Chrome’s live session (including cookies and logged-in state) and generating deterministic adapter commands.
  • Explore, generate, and record workflows: Discovers what endpoints or behaviors to use, synthesizes adapters, or records real calls during manual browsing to reduce guesswork for complex sites.
  • Direct browser control without an adapter: Enables one-off navigation, clicking, typing, and extraction when you only need a quick scrape-like result.

Quick Start

Run opencli doctor to confirm the daemon and browser bridge extension are connected, then use opencli explore with your target URL and goal to discover how to read the site’s data.

Frequently Asked Questions about opencli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a logged-in website into a CLI command for scraping?▼

You can turn a logged-in website into a CLI command by using a live Chrome session with cookies to extract structured data and generate deterministic adapter commands. This approach leverages your existing browser authentication state to create repeatable CLI tooling for websites without adequate APIs.

What is session-based browser automation for API discovery?▼

Session-based browser automation for API discovery involves recording real network calls while you manually browse a site. It captures actual endpoint behaviors from your logged-in Chrome session to reduce guesswork when building new site adapters or performing structured extraction.

Do I need a browser extension to extract data from my logged-in Chrome session?▼

Yes, you need the Browser Bridge extension connected to Chrome. You must run the doctor command to confirm the daemon and extension are connected before you can start exploring websites, driving the browser, and generating adapter definitions.

How do I generate a site adapter from a website with no public API?▼

To generate a site adapter, run the explore command with your target URL and goal to discover how to read the site's data, then use the generate workflow to synthesize deterministic commands from your live browser interactions without needing a public API.

Can I perform one-off website scraping without generating a full adapter?▼

Yes, you can perform one-off website scraping without a full adapter by using direct browser control. This enables quick navigation, clicking, typing, and structured extraction for immediate results when you do not need repeatable CLI commands.
