## What it does

\`bb-browser-openclaw` gives the agent commands for 36 platforms and 103 adapters. With `bb-browser site`, it can search posts, read Reddit threads, fetch GitHub repository data, find research material, and extract YouTube transcripts. Use `--jq` to select fields from the result.

Every command must include `--openclaw`. The adapter runs in OpenClaw’s browser and uses its saved login state, so no separate Chrome extension or daemon is needed. Install the `bb-browser` binary first, then run `bb-browser site update`. When a site requires authentication, log in manually in the OpenClaw browser and retry the command.

Check that `bb-browser` is available before installing the skill: its commands depend on that binary and will not run without it.

# 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}'

# Wrong (requires separate Chrome extension)
bb-browser site twitter/search "AI agent"
```

## Data Extraction (most common use)

```bash
# Social media
bb-browser site twitter/search "OpenClaw" --openclaw
bb-browser site twitter/thread <tweet-url> --openclaw
bb-browser site reddit/thread <post-url> --openclaw
bb-browser site weibo/hot --openclaw
bb-browser site xiaohongshu/search "query" --openclaw

# Developer
bb-browser site github/repo owner/repo --openclaw
bb-browser site github/issues owner/repo --openclaw
bb-browser site hackernews/top 10 --openclaw
bb-browser site stackoverflow/search "async await" --openclaw
bb-browser site arxiv/search "transformer" --openclaw

# Finance
bb-browser site xueqiu/stock SH600519 --openclaw
bb-browser site xueqiu/hot-stock 5 --openclaw
bb-browser site eastmoney/stock "茅台" --openclaw

# News & Knowledge
bb-browser site zhihu/hot --openclaw
bb-browser site 36kr/newsflash --openclaw
bb-browser site wikipedia/summary "Python" --openclaw

# Video
bb-browser site youtube/transcript VIDEO_ID --openclaw
bb-browser site bilibili/search "query" --openclaw
```

## 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}'
```
