What problem does it solve?
Reading a site's data and control logic is hard when there is no API or the API is insufficient. OpenCLI enables turning any website into a deterministic CLI by driving Chrome's live session, including the browser's logged-in state and cookies, to extract data reliably.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic browser-driven CLI: drive Chrome's live session to issue commands against sites with or without APIs.
- One-time setup with the Browser Bridge extension: install and connect the bridge to enable CLI-browser communication.
- Explore, generate, and cascade adapters: build reusable adapters that translate browser interactions into CLI commands for data extraction and automation.
- Use Case: fetch data from a site that requires login or multi-step navigation without embedding credentials in code.
Quick Start
Install the Browser Bridge extension, connect OpenCLI to Chrome, and run an initial explore to build your adapter.
