bb-browser sites — The web as CLI#

36 platforms, 103 commands. One-liner structured data from any website using your login state.

All commands use --openclaw to run through OpenClaw's browser. No Chrome extension or daemon needed.

Quick Start#

bash

# First time: pull community adapters
bb-browser site update

# See what's available
bb-browser site list

# See which adapters match your browsing habits
bb-browser site recommend

# Run any adapter via OpenClaw's browser
bb-browser site reddit/hot --openclaw
bb-browser site hackernews/top 5 --openclaw
bb-browser site v2ex/hot --openclaw

IMPORTANT: Always use --openclaw#

Every bb-browser site command MUST include --openclaw to use OpenClaw's browser:

bash

# Correct
bb-browser site twitter/search "AI agent" --openclaw
bb-browser site zhihu/hot 10 --openclaw --json
bb-browser site xueqiu/hot-stock 5 --openclaw --jq '.items[] | {name, changePercent}'

bb-browser site twitter/search "AI agent"

Filtering with --jq#

Use --jq to extract specific fields (no need for --json, it's implied):

bash

# Just stock names
bb-browser site xueqiu/hot-stock 5 --openclaw --jq '.items[].name'

# Specific fields as objects
bb-browser site xueqiu/hot-stock 5 --openclaw --jq '.items[] | {name, changePercent, heat}'

# Filter results
bb-browser site reddit/hot --openclaw --jq '.posts[] | {title, score}'

View adapter details#

bash

# Check what args an adapter takes
bb-browser site info xueqiu/stock

# Search adapters by keyword
bb-browser site search reddit

Login State#

Adapters run inside OpenClaw's browser tabs. If a site requires login:

1. The adapter will return an error like {"error": "HTTP 401", "hint": "Not logged in?"}

2. Log in to the site in OpenClaw's browser: bash

   openclaw browser open https://twitter.com
   
   

3. Complete login manually in the browser window

4. Retry the command

Creating New Adapters#

Turn any website into a CLI command:

bash

# Read the guide
bb-browser guide

# Or just tell me: "turn notion.so into a bb-browser adapter"
# I'll reverse-engineer the API, write the adapter, test it, and submit a PR.
