Decodo Scraper OpenClaw Skill

Use this skill to search Google, scrape any URL, or fetch YouTube subtitles via the Decodo Web Scraping API. Search outputs a JSON object of result sections; Scrape URL outputs plain markdown; Amazon and Amazon search output parsed product-page or search results (JSON). Amazon search uses --query. YouTube subtitles outputs transcript/subtitles. Reddit post and Reddit subreddit output post/listing content (JSON).

Authentication: Set DECODO_AUTH_TOKEN (Basic auth token from Decodo Dashboard → Scraping APIs) in your environment or in a .env file in the repo root.

Errors: On failure the script writes a JSON error to stderr and exits with code 1.

Tools

1. Search Google

Use this to find URLs, answers, or structured search results. The API returns a JSON object whose results key contains several sections (not all may be present for every query):

Section	Description
organic	Main search results (titles, links, snippets).
ai_overviews	AI-generated overviews or summaries when Google shows them.
paid	Paid/sponsored results (ads).
related_questions	“People also ask”–style questions and answers.
related_searches	Suggested related search queries.
discussions_and_forums	Forum or discussion results (e.g. Reddit, Stack Exchange).

The script outputs only the inner results object (these sections); pagination info (page, last_visible_page, parse_status_code) is not included.

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target google_search --query "your search query"

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target google_search --query "best laptops 2025"
python3 tools/scrape.py --target google_search --query "python requests tutorial"

Optional: --geo us or --locale en for location/language.

2. Scrape URL

Use this to get the content of a specific web page. By default the API returns content as Markdown (cleaner for LLMs and lower token usage).

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target universal --url "https://example.com"

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target universal --url "https://example.com"
python3 tools/scrape.py --target universal --url "https://news.ycombinator.com/"

---

3. Amazon product page

Use this to get parsed data from an Amazon product (or other Amazon) page. Pass the product page URL as --url. The script sends parse: true and outputs the inner results object (e.g. ads, product details, etc.).

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target amazon --url "https://www.amazon.com/dp/PRODUCT_ID"

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target amazon --url "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H74FXNW"

---

4. Amazon search

Use this to search Amazon and get parsed results (search results list, delivery_postcode, etc.). Pass the search query as --query.

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target amazon_search --query "your search query"

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target amazon_search --query "laptop"

---

5. YouTube subtitles

Use this to get subtitles/transcript for a YouTube video. Pass the video ID (e.g. from youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID) as --query.

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target youtube_subtitles --query "VIDEO_ID"

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target youtube_subtitles --query "dFu9aKJoqGg"

---

6. Reddit post

Use this to get the content of a Reddit post (thread). Pass the full post URL as --url.

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target reddit_post --url "https://www.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDIT/comments/ID/..."

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target reddit_post --url "https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/17jrqc5/serious_next_day_thread_postgame_discussion/"

---

7. Reddit subreddit

Use this to get the listing (posts) of a Reddit subreddit. Pass the subreddit URL as --url.

Command:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target reddit_subreddit --url "https://www.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDIT/"

Examples:

python3 tools/scrape.py --target reddit_subreddit --url "https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/"
