# ScraperAPI Plugin

The [`ScraperAPI Plugin`](https://github.com/scraperapi/scraperapi-skills) combines **22 MCP tools** and **19 agent skills** that give your AI agent everything it needs to scrape the web with ScraperAPI. It is available on the Claude Plugin Hub and ClawHub.

### What's included

* **Onboarding** - entry point. Routes the agent to the right product.
* **Product primitives** - skills for Standard API, Async Jobs, Crawler, DataPipeline and MCP.
* **SDK guides** - Python, Node.JS, Ruby, PHP and Java.
* **Tools** - `scraperapi-cli` and n8n community node.
* **Workflows** - scraper builder, lead enrichment, research agent, market research, SEO audit, SERP intelligence and price monitoring.

### How it Works

When your agent detects that a task matches the skill’s triggers (scraping, Google/Amazon/Walmart/eBay searches, Redfin queries, crawling, etc.), it loads the skill’s guidance into the system prompt. The skill contains:

* A list of **all available** ScraperAPI tools and their parameters.
* A decision tree for selecting the right tool.
* Best practices for cost, pagination, localization and result formatting.
* Guidance on handling large outputs efficiently.

### Prompt Example

<mark style="background-color:blue;">Real-time News & Market Data</mark>

\- *"I need latest Google news for the current price of Gold."*

**Response**

Claude now factors in the `SKILL.md` file when making a decision. Instead of manually parsing the HTML or relying on raw search results, it sends a request to ScraperAPI's **Google News Structured Data endpoint**. That endpoint is specifically designed to return clean, structured JSON data for Google News results

`ScraperAPI` handles:

* Bypassing the Bot protection mechanisms.
* Fetching the Google News results.
* Structuring the response into machine-readable data.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scraperapi.com/integrations/llm-integrations/scraperapi-plugin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
