Is it faster than standard web scraping?

Browser-based capture is typically slower than static fetching because it renders the full page. It is best used as a robust fallback when simpler methods fail.

When should I use Browser Content Capture instead of WebFetch?

Use this skill when WebFetch returns empty content, the page requires JavaScript to render (like React apps), or the content is behind a login wall.

Can I capture visual evidence of the page?

Yes, the skill provides commands to take screenshots and read the JS console, which are helpful for visual verification and troubleshooting extraction issues.

Does it support authenticated sites?

Absolutely. It can fill login forms, click submit buttons, and save the session state to handle protected content seamlessly across multiple sessions.

Can this skill handle multi-page documentation?

Yes, it includes built-in patterns for identifying links via interactive snapshots and iterating through multiple pages to capture entire documentation trees.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Extracts data from JavaScript-heavy websites, authenticated pages, and complex documentation using advanced browser automation.

About

This skill empowers Claude to navigate and scrape web content that traditional static fetchers cannot access. By leveraging the agent-browser CLI, it handles JavaScript-rendered single-page applications (SPAs), navigates through login-protected sites by managing authentication states, and performs structured multi-page crawls. It is an essential tool for developers needing to feed Claude with accurate data from modern, dynamic, or gated web environments where standard HTML parsing falls short.

Key Features

JavaScript-rendered content extraction for SPAs like React, Vue, and Angular
Secure authentication flows for accessing login-protected documentation and wikis
Interactive DOM snapshots for precise element targeting and debugging
29 GitHub stars
Session state management to save and reuse authenticated browser cookies
Automated multi-page crawling patterns for site-wide data collection

Use Cases

Extracting content from modern web apps that require client-side hydration to display data
Automating multi-step web workflows to gather data across complex navigation structures
Scraping technical documentation from private portals or gated developer wikis
