Playwright Browser Skill
Purpose
This skill enables OpenClaw to launch a real Chrome/Chromium browser (non-headless), navigate to websites, and extract content by:
- Scraping rendered DOM content
- Hooking and capturing network responses (XHR/Fetch API calls)
- Finding and clicking links
- Searching for keywords in page content
- Focusing on specific elements
Prerequisites
Ensure Playwright is installed:
pip install playwright
playwright install chromiumUsage
1. Basic Navigation and Content Extraction
from skills.playwright-browser.scripts.browser_agent import SyncBrowserAgent
agent = SyncBrowserAgent(headless=False)
content = agent.get_page_content("https://example.com")
print(f"Title: {content['title']}")
agent.close()2. Find and Click Links
from skills.playwright-browser.scripts.browser_agent import SyncBrowserAgent
agent = SyncBrowserAgent(headless=False)
agent.navigate("https://sina.com")
# Find links containing specific text
links = agent.find_links_by_text("军事")
for link in links:
print(f"Found: {link['text']} -> {link['href']}")
# Click the first matching link
agent.find_link_and_click("军事")
agent.close()3. Search Page Content
agent = SyncBrowserAgent(headless=False)
agent.navigate("https://mil.news.sina.com.cn/")
# Search for keyword in page
results = agent.search_page_content("伊朗")
for r in results:
print(f"Found: {r['text']}")
# Focus on first result
if results:
agent.focus_on_element(results[0])
agent.close()4. Hook Network Responses
agent = SyncBrowserAgent(headless=False)
def on_api_response(response):
if response.resource_type in ['xhr', 'fetch']:
print(f"API: {response.url}")
agent.hook_network_responses(on_api_response)
agent.navigate("https://spa-app.example.com")
# Get all captured API calls
api_calls = agent.get_captured_api_calls()
agent.close()Safety Guidelines
- NEVER navigate to suspicious or potentially malicious URLs
- Always validate URLs before navigation
- Respect robots.txt and website terms of service
- Warn user when accessing sites that may contain sensitive content
- Close browser when done to free resources
