System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The Web Scraping Foundations skill provides a single entry point for web-scraping tasks, encoding a decision tree, structured-data shortcuts, and orchestration rules across politeness, troubleshooting, and browser automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • The decision tree (API → JSON XHR → HTML → headless) and structured-data shortcuts reduce effort and increase reliability.
  • On-demand references for politeness, troubleshooting, and browser automation keep knowledge decoupled from execution.
  • Companion skill for Python scaling when crawls exceed ~1,000 URLs.

Quick Start

Load this skill and start a web-scraping task by following the decision tree to choose the appropriate data source, parser, and politeness controls.
