web-markdown-scraper（WEB Markdown scraper 搜索）

Web Markdown Scraper

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• Scrape one or more public webpages (static or JavaScript-rendered)
• Convert HTML pages into clean Markdown
• Extract article/body text for summarization, analysis, or indexing
• Bypass anti-bot protections (Cloudflare, Datadome, etc.) via stealth mode
• Scrape many URLs concurrently (async mode)
• Track page elements reliably across website redesigns (automatch)
• Save the extracted results as .md files

Fetcher Mode Selection Guide

Decision rule: Start with http. If you get a 403 / CAPTCHA / empty body, switch to stealth. If the content is rendered client-side (empty on first load), use dynamic. Use async when scraping many static URLs at once to save time.

Inputs

URL sources

• --url URL — one target URL (repeat flag for multiple: --url A --url B)
• --url-file FILE — plain text file with one URL per line

Fetcher

• --mode http|async|stealth|dynamic — fetcher backend (default: http)

Content extraction

• --selector CSS — CSS selector for the main content area (omit = full page)
• --preserve-links — keep hyperlinks in the Markdown output
• --output-dir DIR — save per-page .md files and a master index.json here

AutoMatch — production resilience

• --auto-save — fingerprint & persist selected elements to the local DB on first run
• --auto-match — on subsequent runs, find elements by fingerprint even if the site

layout has changed (do NOT need to update the CSS selector)

Browser options (stealth / dynamic only)

• --headless true|false|virtual — headless mode; virtual uses Xvfb (default: true)
• --network-idle — wait until no network activity for ≥500 ms before capturing
• --block-images — block image loading (saves bandwidth and proxy quota)
• --disable-resources — drop fonts/images/media/stylesheets for ~25% faster loads
• --wait-selector CSS — pause until this element appears in the DOM
• --wait-selector-state attached|visible|detached|hidden — element state (default: attached)
• --timeout MS — global timeout in ms (default: 30 000)
• --wait MS — extra idle wait after page load in ms

StealthyFetcher extras (stealth mode only)

• --humanize SECONDS — simulate human-like cursor movement (max duration in seconds)
• --geoip — spoof browser timezone, locale, language, and WebRTC IP from proxy geolocation
• --block-webrtc — prevent real-IP leaks via WebRTC
• --disable-ads — install uBlock Origin in the browser session
• --proxy URL — HTTP/SOCKS proxy as a URL string, or JSON:

'{"server":"host:port","username":"u","password":"p"}'

Reliability

• --retry N — retry failed requests up to N times with exponential backoff (max 30 s)

Rules

1. Only process public http:// or https:// pages.
2. Never bypass login walls, CAPTCHAs, paywalls, or access controls.
3. Prefer the main article or body content; avoid polluting the output with navigation,

headers, footers, or cookie banners — use --selector to target the content area.

1. When --auto-save is used, always also pass --selector so Scrapling knows which

element fingerprint to record.

1. On subsequent runs for layout-changed pages, use --auto-match instead of --auto-save.

Do not use both flags at once.

1. Use --mode async for batch jobs with 5+ static URLs for parallel execution.
2. Combine --disable-resources with --block-images in stealth/dynamic mode when

you only need text content — this can cut load times by up to 40%.

1. Always inspect the top-level ok field and per-result ok fields before using content.
2. If ok is false, report the exact error string — do not invent or guess content.
3. When --network-idle is insufficient, use --wait-selector for a specific DOM element

to guarantee the content has loaded before capture.

Command Patterns

Basic static page

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" --url "<URL>"

Static page — target specific content area

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" --url "<URL>" --selector "article.main-content"

Stealth mode — bypass anti-bot protection

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" --url "<URL>" --mode stealth --network-idle

Stealth + proxy + human fingerprint (maximum stealth)

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --url "<URL>" \
  --mode stealth \
  --proxy "http://user:pass@host:port" \
  --humanize 2.0 \
  --geoip \
  --block-webrtc \
  --network-idle

Dynamic SPA page (Playwright Chromium)

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --url "<URL>" \
  --mode dynamic \
  --wait-selector ".product-list" \
  --network-idle \
  --disable-resources

Async concurrent batch (multiple URLs)

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --mode async \
  --url "<URL1>" --url "<URL2>" --url "<URL3>"

Batch from file + stealth + save to disk

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --url-file urls.txt \
  --mode stealth \
  --disable-resources \
  --output-dir outputs

First-run automatch setup (save fingerprint)

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --url "<URL>" \
  --selector ".article-body" \
  --auto-save \
  --output-dir outputs

Subsequent run after site layout change (adaptive match)

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --url "<URL>" \
  --selector ".article-body" \
  --auto-match \
  --output-dir outputs

Full production scrape

python3 "{baseDir}/scrape_to_markdown.py" \
  --url "<URL>" \
  --mode stealth \
  --selector "main article" \
  --auto-match \
  --preserve-links \
  --network-idle \
  --disable-resources \
  --timeout 60000 \
  --retry 3 \
  --output-dir outputs

Output Handling

JSON is printed to stdout. Always check ok before using content.

Top-level fields:

• ok — true only if every URL succeeded
• total / succeeded / failed — count summary
• results — array of per-URL result objects
• output_index_file — path to saved index.json (if --output-dir used)

Per-URL result fields (when ok: true):

• url — the requested URL
• status — HTTP status code (e.g. 200)
• title — page <title> text
• markdown — extracted content as Markdown ← use this as main content
• markdown_length — character count (useful for quality checks)
• output_markdown_file — path to saved .md file (if --output-dir used)

On failure (ok: false in a result):

• error — exact error message; report this verbatim, do not invent content
