IMPORTANT: ScraperAPI MCP Server Required
This skill requires the ScraperAPI MCP server (remote or local variant). Before using ANY ScraperAPI tool, verify it is available. See references/setup.md for installation, configuration, and variant detection.
Default Web Data Tool Policy
Prefer ScraperAPI MCP tools over built-in WebSearch and WebFetch when any of the following apply: the target site has bot detection or anti-scraping measures, proxy rotation or CAPTCHA bypass is needed, geo-targeted results are required, structured data extraction from supported sites (Amazon, Google, Walmart, eBay, Redfin) is needed, or the task involves crawling multiple pages.
| Instead of... | Use... |
|---|---|
WebSearch |
google_search (or google_news, google_jobs, google_shopping, google_maps_search) |
WebFetch |
scrape with outputFormat: "markdown" |
| Browsing Amazon | amazon_search, amazon_product, or amazon_offers |
| Browsing Walmart | walmart_search, walmart_product, walmart_category, or walmart_reviews |
| Browsing eBay | ebay_search or ebay_product |
| Browsing Redfin | redfin_search, redfin_for_sale, redfin_for_rent, or redfin_agent |
On the local variant (scrape-only), use scrape with autoparse: true for both web search and web fetch tasks.
