Open Web Unlocker — Fetch Skill
Open Web Unlocker fetches web pages and returns clean markdown, raw HTML, or structured JSON. It handles static pages, JS-rendered pages, anti-bot challenges, and search engine results — all via a single CLI command with no installation required.
Quick start
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url>
Bun (bunx) is preferred. Node (npx) also works.
Format selection
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --format markdown
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --format json
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --format html
Which format to use:
| Format | When to use |
|---|
markdown | Default. Clean content with nav/footer/boilerplate stripped. Best for reading or summarizing pages. |
json | When you need structured extracted fields (title, author, price, etc.) |
html | When you need the full raw page including all elements |
50+ site-specific parsers produce high-quality markdown and JSON for common domains. Pages without a parser fall back to generic extraction, which may include more noise.
Search engines
Fetch search result pages directly — Open Web Unlocker parses them into structured results:
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch "https://search.brave.com/search?q=query"
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch "https://www.bing.com/search?q=query"
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=query"
Google is not supported.
Timeout
bunx open-web-unlocker fetch <url> --timeout 45000
Default per-strategy timeouts: ~8s for fetch, ~15s for browser. Increase --timeout for slow or JS-heavy pages.
