From 150c43743d8511077b0f2f11c1e97030addd5958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sahil Sunny Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 21:44:27 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Restructure plugin layout, upgrade AGENTS.md, add skill directories for Copilot and OpenCode - Separate marketplace catalog from plugin: move plugin content to plugins/scrapingbee-cli/ with its own .claude-plugin/plugin.json - Fix marketplace.json to match Claude Code spec (metadata.description, correct source path) - Upgrade AGENTS.md to be comprehensive and self-contained for tools that rely on it (Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Amp, RooCode, Continue, etc.) - Add .github/skills/scrapingbee-cli/ (GitHub Copilot) and .opencode/skills/scrapingbee-cli/ (OpenCode) as skill destinations - Update sync-skills.sh with new source path and destinations - Bump version to 1.2.2 --- .agents/skills/scrapingbee-cli/SKILL.md | 2 +- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | 9 +- .../skills}/scrapingbee-cli/SKILL.md | 2 +- .../reference/amazon/product.md | 0

Key options available on batch-capable commands: **`--output-file path`** — write single-call output to a file (otherwise stdout). **`--output-dir path`** — batch/crawl output directory (default: `batch_` or `crawl_`). **`--input-file path`** — batch: one item per line, or `.csv` with `--input-column`. **`--input-column COL`** — CSV input: column name or 0-based index (default: first column). **`--output-format [files|csv|ndjson]`** — batch output format: `files` (default, individual files), `csv` (single CSV), or `ndjson` (streaming JSON lines to stdout). **`--verbose`** — print HTTP status, Spb-Cost, headers. **`--concurrency N`** — batch/crawl max concurrent requests (0 = plan limit). **`--deduplicate`** — normalize URLs and remove duplicates from input before processing. **`--sample N`** — process only N random items from input file (0 = all). **`--post-process CMD`** — pipe each result body through a shell command (e.g. `'jq .title'`). **`--retries N`** — retry on 5xx/connection errors (default 3). **`--backoff F`** — backoff multiplier for retries (default 2.0). **`--resume`** — skip items already saved in `--output-dir` (resumes interrupted batches/crawls). **`--no-progress`** — suppress batch progress counter. **`--extract-field PATH`** — extract values from JSON using a dot path, one per line (e.g. `organic_results.url`). **`--fields KEY1,KEY2`** — filter JSON to comma-separated top-level keys. **`--update-csv`** — fetch fresh data and update the input CSV file in-place. **`--on-complete CMD`** — shell command to run after batch/crawl (env vars: `SCRAPINGBEE_OUTPUT_DIR`, `SCRAPINGBEE_SUCCEEDED`, `SCRAPINGBEE_FAILED`). + +**Option values:** Use space-separated only (e.g. `--render-js false`), not `--option=value`. **YouTube duration:** use shell-safe aliases `--duration short` / `medium` / `long` (raw `"<4"`, `"4-20"`, `">20"` also accepted). + +**Scrape extras:** `--preset` (screenshot, screenshot-and-html, fetch, extract-links, extract-emails, extract-phones, scroll-page), `--force-extension ext`. For long JSON use shell: `--js-scenario "$(cat file.json)"`. **File fetching:** use `--preset fetch` or `--render-js false`. **JSON response:** with `--json-response true`, the response includes an `xhr` key; use it to inspect XHR traffic. **RAG/LLM chunking:** `--chunk-size N` splits text/markdown output into overlapping NDJSON chunks (each line: `{"url":..., "chunk_index":..., "total_chunks":..., "content":..., "fetched_at":...}`); pair with `--chunk-overlap M` for sliding-window context. Output extension becomes `.ndjson`. Use with `--return-page-markdown true` for clean LLM input. + +**Rules:** [rules/install.md](rules/install.md) (install). [rules/security.md](rules/security.md) (API key, credits, output safety). + +**Before large batches:** Run `scrapingbee usage`. **Batch failures:** for each failed item, **`N.err`** is a JSON file with `error`, `status_code`, `input`, and `body` keys. Batch exits with code 1 if any items failed. + +**Known limitations:** Google classic `organic_results` is currently empty due to an API-side parser issue (news/maps/shopping still work).

Key options available on batch-capable commands: **`--output-file path`** — write single-call output to a file (otherwise stdout). **`--output-dir path`** — batch/crawl output directory (default: `batch_` or `crawl_`). **`--input-file path`** — batch: one item per line, or `.csv` with `--input-column`. **`--input-column COL`** — CSV input: column name or 0-based index (default: first column). **`--output-format [files|csv|ndjson]`** — batch output format: `files` (default, individual files), `csv` (single CSV), or `ndjson` (streaming JSON lines to stdout). **`--verbose`** — print HTTP status, Spb-Cost, headers. **`--concurrency N`** — batch/crawl max concurrent requests (0 = plan limit). **`--deduplicate`** — normalize URLs and remove duplicates from input before processing. **`--sample N`** — process only N random items from input file (0 = all). **`--post-process CMD`** — pipe each result body through a shell command (e.g. `'jq .title'`). **`--retries N`** — retry on 5xx/connection errors (default 3). **`--backoff F`** — backoff multiplier for retries (default 2.0). **`--resume`** — skip items already saved in `--output-dir` (resumes interrupted batches/crawls). **`--no-progress`** — suppress batch progress counter. **`--extract-field PATH`** — extract values from JSON using a dot path, one per line (e.g. `organic_results.url`). **`--fields KEY1,KEY2`** — filter JSON to comma-separated top-level keys. **`--update-csv`** — fetch fresh data and update the input CSV file in-place. **`--on-complete CMD`** — shell command to run after batch/crawl (env vars: `SCRAPINGBEE_OUTPUT_DIR`, `SCRAPINGBEE_SUCCEEDED`, `SCRAPINGBEE_FAILED`). + +**Option values:** Use space-separated only (e.g. `--render-js false`), not `--option=value`. **YouTube duration:** use shell-safe aliases `--duration short` / `medium` / `long` (raw `"<4"`, `"4-20"`, `">20"` also accepted). + +**Scrape extras:** `--preset` (screenshot, screenshot-and-html, fetch, extract-links, extract-emails, extract-phones, scroll-page), `--force-extension ext`. For long JSON use shell: `--js-scenario "$(cat file.json)"`. **File fetching:** use `--preset fetch` or `--render-js false`. **JSON response:** with `--json-response true`, the response includes an `xhr` key; use it to inspect XHR traffic. **RAG/LLM chunking:** `--chunk-size N` splits text/markdown output into overlapping NDJSON chunks (each line: `{"url":..., "chunk_index":..., "total_chunks":..., "content":..., "fetched_at":...}`); pair with `--chunk-overlap M` for sliding-window context.

[rules/security.md](rules/security.md) (API key, credits, output safety). + +**Before large batches:** Run `scrapingbee usage`. **Batch failures:** for each failed item, **`N.err`** is a JSON file with `error`, `status_code`, `input`, and `body` keys.
