# OpenClaw: web intelligence and scraping

> OpenClaw gives you browser automation and web intelligence for scraping, enrichment, monitoring, and action workflows — charged per action.

OpenClaw is a browser automation and web intelligence layer for scraping, enrichment, monitoring, and action workflows. You define a target page or workflow, run an extraction or action step, and receive structured output ready to use in your systems. OpenClaw is open-source in direction with a hosted, credits-based interface available now at [onyxiq.in/products/openclaw](https://onyxiq.in/products/openclaw).

## What OpenClaw does

OpenClaw handles the parts of web work that are repetitive but hard to automate cleanly:

* **Browser automation workflows** for repeatable web tasks.
* **Extraction and enrichment patterns** for operational data.
* **Open-source direction** with hosted credit-based usage available.

Primary users are developers and operators who need reliable, structured output from web pages without building and maintaining their own scraping infrastructure.

## Using OpenClaw via the web UI

The scrape tool is live. You can use it directly from your browser without any setup.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the OpenClaw product page">
    Navigate to [onyxiq.in/products/openclaw](https://onyxiq.in/products/openclaw). Sign in to your OnyxIQ account if prompted — you need to be signed in for credits to be tracked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste a URL">
    Enter the full URL of the page you want to scrape into the input field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Scrape">
    Click the **Scrape** button to start the job. Ten credits are reserved from your balance immediately when the request is submitted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View results in tabs">
    Once the scrape completes, results appear across four tabs. Review each tab for the data you need.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  10 credits are reserved from your balance when you submit a scrape. If the fetch fails — for example, if the page is unreachable — those 10 credits are fully refunded to your account.
</Note>

## Result tabs

Each completed scrape surfaces its output across four tabs:

| Tab          | Contents                                                                           |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overview** | Page title, meta description, first H1 tag, and the timestamp the page was scraped |
| **Headings** | All heading tags found on the page (H1 through H6) in document order               |
| **Links**    | All `href` values extracted from anchor tags on the page                           |
| **Text**     | The full readable body text of the page, stripped of HTML                          |

## Example result structure

A completed scrape returns a JSON response with this shape:

```json theme={null}
{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "title": "Example Domain",
    "description": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples.",
    "h1": "Example Domain",
    "headings": [
      { "tag": "h2", "text": "Usage" }
    ],
    "links": [
      { "text": "More information...", "href": "https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved" }
    ],
    "text": "Example Domain This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-05-18T10:23:00.000Z"
  },
  "creditsUsed": 10,
  "remainingBalance": 90
}
```

## Credit costs

| Action                 | Credit cost         |
| ---------------------- | ------------------- |
| Scrape (web UI or API) | 10 credits          |
| Alert trigger          | 1 credit            |
| Browser action run     | 1–8 credits         |
| Log analysis           | 8 credits per batch |

## Programmatic use

You can run OpenClaw scrapes via the API instead of the web UI. See the [OpenClaw API reference](/api/openclaw/scrape) for request format, authentication, and response schema.
